Frequently asked questions
What should I do as soon as I receive an audit notice?
It is important to react promptly, because response deadlines are strict. We examine the scope of the audit, prepare the requested documents and assist you in dealings with the authorities to avoid procedural errors.
Can a tax reassessment be challenged?
Yes, a reassessment can be discussed and then challenged through the remedies provided for by law. A reasoned response to the proposed adjustment is often a decisive step before any litigation.
Is tax optimisation legal?
Optimisation consists of using the mechanisms provided for by law to legitimately reduce the tax burden, which is lawful. It is distinct from fraud, which relies on concealment or misrepresentation and exposes you to penalties.
