A "tax scheme" uncovered by inspectors turned out to be non-existent. It is well known that tax officials are suspicious of service contracts that result in employees of one organization being transferred to another which uses simplified taxation.

However, in this case the court noted that tax officials did not specify which norms in particular had been violated. None of the circumstances connected to the deal was illegal: the outstaffing agreement was concluded lawfully, as was the transfer of employees. The wages of the employees were paid legally.
