MOSCOW - August 8, RAPSI, Sergei Feklyunin. The Ninth Commercial Court of Appeals has postponed until September 4 the tax watchdog's appeal against the dismissal of a decision obligating an IT company to pay an additional $91.51 million to the state budget, the court told the Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI/rapsinews.com) on Wednesday.

The court has postponed the hearing due to the cases complexity and the need for additional time to review the evidence.

This April, the Moscow Commercial Court satisfied the LANIT IT company's lawsuit in full to cancel the Federal Tax Services decision.

A year earlier, the watchdog imposed additional tax liabilities against the company amounting to 1.998 billion rubles ($63.05 million) in supplementary profit tax, 230.312 million rubles ($7.26 million) in penalties and a 662.395 million ($20.9 million) fine.

The company challenged the decision in November.

The court also initiated provisional measures upon the plaintiff's request and suspended the execution of the watchdog's decision.

At the same time, the court demanded reciprocal security from the company in the amount of 50 percent of the supplementary tax charges later provided by LANIT subsidiaries.

The taxpayer has also submitted to the court its cashflow reports for June 1-August 31, which indicate its proceeds at 5.429 billion rubles ($171.32 million).

The Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI/rapsinews.com) has yet to reach the parties for comment. LANIT is mostly involved in systems integration. One of its subsidiaries supplies computers to Moscow schools.
