When tax and control come together
Tax compliance is particularly important where companies consciously take risks by wanting to utilise leeway and loopholes in tax laws.
Increasingly, legislation, case law and tax authorities expect taxpayers to have aligned their actions with tax compliance in all relevant tax types and to be able to prove this. Tax compliance is therefore part of the management task of ensuring tax-compliant behaviour.
Controls of tax-relevant processes and ensuring proper documentation are essential here. In addition, appropriate delegation and supervision by the management - as the person responsible under tax law - via the tax department or external consultants involved plays a special role in order to avoid personal claims being made against the management. In addition, the tax authorities' audit options must be ensured as part of a digital tax audit.
Approach and Range of Services
Approach
Together with you and your employees, we analyse whether and to what extent the tax compliance currently in place for your company is incomplete and should be supplemented. If there are indications of breaches of tax obligations, we will support you with the implementation of investigative measures and the necessary next steps vis-à-vis the financial and criminal authorities. In doing so, we rely on our many years of experience as legal advisors and our practical experience in financial administration.
In the case of corporate transactions, we discuss with you in advance the extent to which tax due diligence is required and then carry this out in a cost-efficient manner.
