It might sound like a paradox, but taxpayers
nowadays have to defend their rights with
the same amount of effort as they fulfill their
duties – always bearing in mind the strong legal
position of the tax office. Taking the right steps
to protect one’s legal position is sometimes easier
said than done. Therefore, the areas in which we
offer advice and assistance include the following:
TAX LAW.
• Drafting of tax optimized sales contracts and company
agreements;
• Structuring and implementing a company succession plan;
• Estate and gift tax matters – advice on preventing
and solving disputes;
• Appeal to the tax office and tax court proceedings;
• Mutual agreement and arbitration procedures under
double tax treaties;
• Advice on tax audits and other legal tax proceedings;
• Advice on international tax matters, i.e., permanent
establishments, transfer pricing and related documentation
and filings and double taxation treaty issues;
• VAT issues; and
• Legal expert opinions on tax issues.
