Company audit
You are on the safe side with us
In a tax audit, the taxpayer and the tax office have different objectives. The taxpayer must demonstrate that the statutory provisions have been complied with; the tax office wants to achieve an additional tax result and will therefore look for deficiencies in order to make an estimate of the income.
The right tone must be struck in dialog with the external auditor, because a legal dispute costs time and money. Nevertheless, the taxpayer must of course not simply accept what the auditor says. In many cases, the tax authorities’ authority to make estimates is questionable and is often accepted far too early.
As your tax advisor, we examine your bookkeeping for potential improvements and advise you in advance on the tax risks of a tax audit. However, external audits cannot always be avoided and once an audit has been ordered, you need a legal advisor at your side who can counter the tax authorities’ arguments with the necessary legal knowledge.
Industry knowledge and an analysis of your business processes are essential, which is why on-site advice at your company should be at least part of the preparation of your statement as part of the external audit. Benefit from our many years of nationwide experience in representing clients in external audits by tax offices and other authorities.
Even after a tax audit, which may have led to a considerable burden, in many cases you do not have to stop with tax planning. There are methods for neutralizing excess results that are successful. Arrange a non-binding consultation to find out more.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the audit findings cannot be made in agreement with the tax office. If necessary, we also represent you in tax disputes in appeal or legal proceedings before the tax courts.
