Tax Audit & Tax Offences
Tax Audit & Tax Offences
Tax Audit
The initial stage of tax proceedings, where tax authorities scrutinize financial records to identify any potential illegal aspects. Our effective defense of clients‘ interests starts in the very beginning of a tax audit as any small mistake here may prove costly later in tax proceedings.
Tax Assessment Procedure
The assessment proceedings shall commence immediately after the end of a tax audit. We provide fierce defense of clients‘ interests, which is essential as tax authorities issue their decisions in this part of tax proceedings.
Administrative Legal Action
The decisions made by tax authorities during tax proceedings are not definitive. We excel in using administrative legal action as a crucial instrument to bring tax matters before the court, seeking a decision that aligns with the law and protects the interests of our clients.
Allegations of Tax Offenses & Criminal Procedure
Not all instances of illegal tax optimization meet the criteria for a tax offense. Furthermore, the burden of proof rests with the bodies involved in criminal proceedings, requiring them to substantiate the fulfilment of the constituent elements of the offense. We proactively use the means of defense granted by the Criminal Procedure Code for the benefit of accused clients and prevent bodies involved in criminal proceedings from proving guilt in any tax offense.
