  We study collisions of moving nonlinear-Schr\"{o}dinger solitons with a
$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric dipole embedded into the one-dimensional self-focusing
or defocusing medium. Accurate analytical results are produced for bright
solitons, and, in a more qualitative form, for dark ones. In the former case,
an essential aspect of the approximation is that it must take into regard the
intrinsic chirp of the soliton, thus going beyond the framework of the simplest
quasi-particle description of the soliton's dynamics. Critical velocities
separating reflection and transmission of the incident bright solitons are
found by means of numerical simulations, and in the approximate semi-analytical
form. An exact solution for the dark soliton pinned by the complex
$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric dipole is produced too.
