Tax audits

Defence and assistance during tax audits

The firm assists clients, whether individuals or companies, who are subject to tax audits (documentary audits, accounting audits and adversarial reviews of personal tax affairs).

To protect taxpayers’ interests, the firm devises an effective tax strategy right from the start of the tax audit and ensures an appropriate defence against the tax authorities.

The firm ensures that the audits carried out are accurate and that procedural safeguards are observed. The firm verifies the legality of the provisions invoked by the tax authorities in support of their audit.

Our firm supports you through these difficult times by devising a robust defence strategy and representing you before the relevant authorities.

Our tasks are as follows:

Assistance during a tax audit

The firm is involved at every stage of the tax audit and responds to any adjustments proposed by the tax authorities.

Pre-litigation proceedings

Following an audit, the firm assists its clients by referring contentious issues to the relevant authorities (referral to the line manager, the departmental contact, the tax conciliator or the tax mediator; referral to committees; referral to the Committee on Abuse of Tax Law).

Ex gratia and settlement procedures

The firm also assists its clients in discussions with the tax authorities aimed at reducing their tax liabilities (settlements, ex gratia remissions).

Drawing on our in-depth knowledge of tax procedures, we develop a strategy. We ensure that your rights are protected and that the financial impact of any audits carried out is minimised.
