What should I do in case of a tax audit?
Step one is to carefully analyze the request from the tax authorities to identify which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A comprehensive response relies on the ability to provide relevant documentation, such as bills, bank statements, or contracts, to demonstrate the accuracy of your tax declaration.
It is important to adhere to the deadlines, as failure to respond within the given timeframe may cause negative consequences.
Generally, the tax administration provides a one-month deadline to respond to the request.
To minimize mistakes that could worsen the situation, it is strongly advised to get expert advice, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are found, non-contentious options can be arranged.
Negotiating with the tax office can minimize penalties and reach a solution under the optimal terms.

What is the difference between a tax advisor and a tax lawyer?
A tax advisor and a tax lawyer have complementary roles, but they serve different functions depending on the situation.
A tax advisor, like French Tax Online, assists private clients and companies in improving their tax efficiency.
Their knowledge helps lower tax bills within legal limits, ensure accurate tax filings, and choose the most efficient tax strategies.
Their approach is risk-avoidant, aiming to prevent tax issues.
A tax lawyer, on the other hand, is a specialist in tax law, who primarily intervenes in conflicts with tax authorities.
They are authorized to act on behalf of clients before a judge and argue cases on their behalf.
Their role becomes indispensable when administrative talks break down and court representation becomes necessary.
