TAX LAW

Due to our specialised expertise, one of our core areas of specialisation is tax law, which includes tax expertise, tax planning, and representation in tax matters before the authorities and courts.

We have the most experience in the areas of VAT and customs, and therefore we most often provide domestic and international tax opinions and tax planning in these tax areas.

However, our services increasingly include international tax planning for income taxes and taxpayer residence planning.

With the mobility provided by digitalisation, the market for international services is expanding rapidly. As a result, we are increasingly approached by businesses and individuals who want to find the least costly and most secure tax structure or solution to a particular issue.

In these cases, it is usually not sufficient to know the domestic corporate tax, income tax and contribution rules, but it is also necessary to apply the double tax conventions concluded with the countries concerned.

In cases where a more in-depth examination of the tax law of the country in question is required, we will contact a foreign tax expert or tax lawyer known to us, with whom we can jointly develop a secure legal position.

Our firm has a long-standing professional relationship with Los Angeles-based Miklos CPA www.mikloscpa.com, an accounting and auditing firm with an excellent understanding of all aspects of US taxation. Its leader Miklos Ringbauer is a recognized California specialist.

We also represent clients in tax audits, appeals of tax authority decisions and tax litigation (i.e., judicial review of tax authority decisions at second instance). If justified, we can pursue extraordinary remedies before the Curia or, if well-founded, we can even go to the European Court of Justice to enforce the client’s rights.
