The article deals with current issues related to the procedure of consideration and resolution of urgent administrative cases at the appeal of the bodies of revenue and fees. The peculiarities of the specified category of cases which are manifested in the urgency; subject composition; notification of the participants of the case on the date, time and place of the case; filing of the claim; calculation of procedural terms; announcement and service of court decisions; appeal and cassation appeal; the court fee are analyzed. It is noted that the statements of the case are a statement of claim, reaction a statement of claim, a response to a reaction, a protest, a third party’s explanation of the statement claim, or reaction a statement of claim. The form of the appeal of tax authorities to the administrative court is a claim. Obviously, that is why in these categories of cases there are often misunderstandings regarding the payment of court fees as evidenced by a large number of decisions on leaving without motion the claim of bodies of revenue and fees on the ground of failure to submit to the court a document on payment of court fees. Central to the article is the consideration of the issue of understanding of the dispute about law as one of the grounds for refusing to open proceedings at the appeal of the bodies of revenue and fees. The only form of administrative proceedings is the consideration of the case on the statement of claim. As is well known, a lawsuit involves conflict between the parties. The mutual rights and obligations of the parties to prove their claims and objections constitute the substance of the dispute. However, the peculiarities of disputes at the request of the bodies of revenue and fees due to the fact that they don’t have a dispute about the law. It is noted that there is no legal definition of the term «dispute about the law», which significantly complicates the consideration and resolution of this category of cases. The interpretation of this concept exists only in judicial practice, in particular in resolutions of the Supreme Court but they are also contradictory. That’s why we consider it necessary to supplement article 283 Code of Administrative Proceedings of Ukraine a note defining the concept of «dispute about the law», which should be understood as a claim of the taxpayer to the tax authority regardless of the subject of the claim which may be submitted to administrative or judicial procedure. Keywords: a dispute about law, administrative proceedings, administrative case, revenue, and fees, claim.
