Tax and criminal-fiscal law

It is better to prevent than to cure. We select tax-advantaged solutions individually for each entrepreneur, thus avoiding a potential dispute with the tax authority.

We proactively defend the client’s interests in tax proceedings and audits. The measures provided for by the law force the authorities to search for evidence efficiently, making it impossible to determine tax liabilities on the basis of presumptions, hunches or irregularities that have occurred in another entity. Even before the tax authority of first instance, we counteract the criminal practice of conducting proceedings under a preconceived thesis. We are particularly concerned about entrepreneurs who are victims of a tax offence and are then held liable for the tax by an authority that is unable or unwilling to apprehend the offender and compensates the budget losses at the expense of a legally operating company.

We respond strongly to situations of arbitrary use of the law by a tax authority, in particular unlawful security over a business’s assets or refusals to refund the VAT difference.

We effectively represent the entrepreneur in fiscal criminal cases – both in the role of an intervener demanding the return of items seized as items originating from or used in the commission of an offence, but also in the role of a defendant – often explaining that the entrepreneur’s different understanding of a provision is a tax dispute, not a crime.
