What should I do in case of a tax audit?
The initial step is to properly assess the request from the tax authorities to understand which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A accurate response relies on the availability of strong supporting documents, such as bills, account statements, or agreements, to demonstrate the validity of your tax declaration.
It is important to adhere to the deadlines, as not replying in time may cause penalties.
Generally, the tax administration provides 30 days to supply the information.
To prevent missteps that could worsen the situation, it is highly recommended to seek assistance from a tax expert, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are noted, amicable solutions exist.
Discussions may help limit fines and resolve the issue under the best conditions.
With our in-depth knowledge and certification with French fiscal institutions, we ensure a reliable and compliant management of these procedures, ensuring reassurance when facing a tax audit.
What is the difference between a tax advisor and a tax lawyer?
The functions of tax advisors and tax lawyers are different yet complementary, but they focus on different aspects of taxation.
A tax advisor, like French Tax Online, assists private clients and companies in improving their tax efficiency.
Their skills helps decrease taxes in compliance with the law, file tax returns correctly, and choose the most efficient tax strategies.
Their approach is risk-avoidant, aiming to avoid risks of tax reassessment.
Conversely, a tax lawyer specializes in tax law, who primarily handles contentious tax situations.
They are qualified to defend taxpayers in court and conduct proceedings for their clients.
Their role becomes indispensable when an agreement with the administration can’t be reached and court representation becomes necessary.
