Aequo defended interests of Oysho

Aequo’s Tax Disputes team has successfully defended interests of Oysho, a member of the world’s biggest fashion group Inditex, in a tax dispute before the Kyiv Administrative Court of Appeal. Oysho managed to successfully challenge a tax notice in the dispute concerning the tax exemption on royalty income derived from IP rights (licenses). The Kyiv Administrative Court of Appeal supported Aequo’s arguments that the tax notice contradicted both the Tax Code of Ukraine and the Convention between The Kingdom of the Netherlands and Ukraine for the avoidance of double taxation, and upheld the decision of the local administrative court in favor of Oysho. The case team included senior associates Yevgen Levitskyi and Myroslava Savchuk, associates Vasyl Mishchenko and Anna Konovalova under the supervision of Denis Lysenko, managing partner
