Representation in dealings with the tax office

The numerous statutory Provisions governing the taxation procedure That is one aspect. In addition, there is another important non-statutory element in the taxation procedure: the approach – whether in writing or in person – with the relevant case officer, tax inspector and other staff at the relevant authorities.

Representation in dealings with the tax office: We have been liaising with the tax authorities and other government bodies for many years and know how to get things done there. You can rest assured that we always strike the right balance between Sensitivity, tenacity and tactics Your interests right from the start provide the best possible protection and representation.

Particularly when the stances between our clients and the tax authorities appear to have become entrenched, experienced advisers can help restore a level of communication that calms any tempers that may already have flared. This is of great importance, given that both sides are generally keen to reach an out-of-court settlement.

A cooperative attitude is usually constructive.

Even though it may not always seem that way to many people, most tax authority staff are ordinary people just like you and me. Almost all of them are quite open to working together to find a solution that satisfies both sides. Our long experience has taught us that a cooperative approach usually gets us a long way.

Even if there is already a difference of opinion regarding the facts of a case before tax assessment notices are issued or before an appeal is lodged, and it seems highly unlikely that a compromise can be reached, direct verbal communication can help to bridge these differences and reach a consensus.

If this is no longer possible due to entrenched views and interpretations on the part of the tax authorities, taking a firm stance at the right moment can ensure that the proceedings are brought to a successful conclusion.
