We are living at the heart of the most challenging tax environment in history – a global phenomenon leading to an increase in the number and size of tax audits, assessments, and disputes.
Tax authorities worldwide are under increasing pressure to close the “tax gap” by tackling tax evasion, tax avoidance and other non-compliance.
This pressure on our tax authorities is resulting in more investigations, larger adjustments and an increase in the additional tax, interest and penalties collected from these enquiries.
Tax investigations can be stressful, disruptive and expensive – be proactive, don’t wait until you run into difficulty.
Our dedicated tax dispute resolution team has several years of experience and an in-depth knowledge of the tax investigation procedures and practices to help you prevent, manage and resolve tax audits and enquiries.
From routine tax enquiries to in-depth tax investigations or assistance in bringing your tax affairs in order through voluntary disclosures, our dedicated team can guide you through every step of the process.
Whether you are a sole trader running your own business, operate in partnership, a large corporate group or act as a Trustee/ Executor, we can help on a wide range of tax investigation matters including Corporate Tax, VAT, Personal Tax and FSS audits.
