The company filed an application in April 2017. According to the materials of the case, "Makfa" tried to suspend the action of the contested act three times, submitting the corresponding petitions. In substantiation of the need to take interim measures, the plaintiff indicated that the recoverable amount "is disproportionately large in relation to its income and the size of its tax obligations, as well as to the magnitude of its civil obligations." "The use of enforcement measures will entail significant negative consequences in the form of suspension of production, inability to pay wages, the need to pay contractual penalties to counterparties, loss of trust and business reputation," the case reads.

The Court considered that the evidence provided was insufficient for the adoption of interim measures. "The applicant's arguments about the possibility of causing significant damage to the court can not be taken into account, since the recovered amount for the enterprise is insignificant, in the turnover of the enterprise there is enough money to pay it. In addition, the amount can be paid at the expense of the profit received by OJSC "Makfa" for 2016, without causing any economic damage to the enterprise and diversion of funds from economic circulation, "the case materials. According to the court, the adoption of interim measures would violate the balance of interests of the parties in favor of "McPhee". As a result, 143.6 million rubles. recovered from the company before the completion of the trial. During the proceedings in the case, the company also filed an application for judicial economic examination, however, the plaintiff was also refused.

All these actions are carried out within the framework of the law. The right to tax is something to recover, if it so considers it necessary, the right of enterprises to challenge or not to challenge, "the representative of the enterprise Yulia Bobyleva said, leaving the question of appealing the decision without comment." This is the commercial legal activity of the enterprise, these are working moments, we will leave them without comment. How we will build relations with the tax and courts are our internal affairs. " The question of how the withdrawal of this amount affected the enterprise, Mrs. Bobyleva also left unanswered.
