Wealth management requires a cross-disciplinary approach, combining tax law, inheritance law, and corporate law. The firm operates in several key areas of wealth taxation to offer you comprehensive and strategic support.
A tax audit cannot be improvised: the way you respond to initial requests often determines the final outcome.
- Prior analysis of the tax situation of the company or individual
- Preparation and organization of documents requested by the auditor
- Strategic advice on communication with the authorities to avoid errors that worsen the situation
Objective: to anticipate difficulties and limit the risk of a tax adjustment.
The notice of adjustment (or “proposed tax adjustment”) is the official document by which the tax authorities set out the amounts claimed. A poorly drafted or late response can lead to an ex officio assessment.
- In-depth study of the grounds put forward by the tax authorities
- Drafting a legal and quantified response to demonstrate the flaws in the argumentation
- Reliance on case law and tax legislation to strengthen the defense
Objective: to reduce, or even cancel, the proposed adjustments.
If disagreement persists, several remedies are possible before initiating litigation.
- Hierarchical appeal to the auditor's superior
- Referral to the departmental commission for direct taxes and turnover taxes (CDI), competent for certain technical disputes
- Negotiation strategy to seek an amicable solution
Objective: to exhaust all internal avenues of challenge to avoid lengthy and costly litigation.
When discussions with the tax authorities fail, litigation becomes an option. This is an area where technical expertise and procedure are crucial.
- Filing a formal contentious claim
- Representation and advocacy before the administrative court or the administrative court of appeal
- Litigation strategy based on solid legal arguments and constant monitoring of case law
Objective: to obtain a substantial reduction or outright cancellation of the disputed tax assessments.
Tax adjustments are often accompanied by penalties, sometimes coupled with accusations of tax fraud.
- Contesting surcharges for bad faith or deliberate omission
- Reduction of late payment interest and tax fines
- Criminal defense in cases of tax fraud prosecution, in coordination with the competent courts
Objective: to protect not only your finances but also your reputation and criminal liability.
