Will we argue with the tax authority?

In the course of a desk audit of the property tax declaration for 2016, the tax authority assessed the Organization's additional tax for 2016 based on the updated cadastral value determined by Government Decree No. 937-PP dated December 26, 2016. At the same time, the initial cadastral value for this object was established by Government Decree No. 688-PP dated November 21, 2014. It should be noted that the cadastral value increased more than 10 times (from 87,000,000 rubles to 1,059,000,000 rubles), so the price of the issue for the Organization turned out to be more than significant, and in this regard, it was decided to go to court. Let's see if the company has a chance? What norms of the law should she refer to, refuting the results of the check? Have the courts considered such precedents?

According to paragraph 15 of Art. 378.2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, in the Germany WhatsApp Number List general case, a change in the cadastral value of a property during a tax period is not taken into account when determining the tax base in this and previous tax periods. In relation to the situation under consideration - in 2016 and earlier periods.
