bgd avocats helps in anticipating tax and social security audits, to answer to the authorities and to deal with possible litigation with them.

TAX AUDIT

– Requests for information

– Tax reassessment proceedings

– Full examination of personal tax situation (ESFP)

TAX LITIGATION

Following audit operations, if the company and the executives do not agree with the tax authorities’ position, bgd avocats may carry out several actions:

– First, pre-litigation claims, whose utility should not be underestimated: appeal to higher administrative authorities (head of section, county or region tax contact, Minister); or to an out-of-court settlement committee.

– If the disagreement remains, the company may enter into the litigation stage by introducing a claim before the appropriate administrative courts (VAT, local taxes, indirect taxes) or judicial courts (wealth tax, registration duties).
