Tax law
“It is impossible to be sure of anything but death and taxes.” / Christopher Bullock – 1716/
The above quote reflects how tax law and taxation is an essential part of the day-to-day running of businesses in particular. I am convinced that the key for our clients to reduce their tax risks and optimize their costs is to engage legal representation in a timely manner. In their day-to-day operations, they need to assess whether there is an opportunity to reduce their tax costs and/or whether a particular operation or past transaction harbors a tax risk. It is important that, where specific, non-traditional contracts are concluded, tax compliance, typically from a VAT point of view, is checked before the contract is concluded, and that, in the event of a tax audit, the legal representative is involved at the start of the audit, since, after the audit has been completed, especially after a decision has been taken, legal options are limited and errors made during the audit are difficult or impossible to correct.
In the field of tax law, we provide services in the following areas in particular:
- Tax law opinions on economic and commercial transactions, tax impact assessment;
- Assistance in the field of VAT (tax liability, tax deduction, tax exemption for intra-Community transactions);
- Advice on the use of corporate tax benefits (sports and film subsidies, investment, energy efficiency);
- Support for tax audits, liaison with accountancy and tax authorities;
- Representation in audit proceedings and administrative litigation against the tax authorities.
