What should I do in case of a tax audit?
The first step is to thoroughly examine the request from the tax authorities to identify which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A accurate response relies on the submission of justifying paperwork, such as invoices, bank statements, or agreements, to justify the accuracy of your tax declaration.
It is crucial to adhere to the deadlines, as delays may cause negative consequences.
Generally, the tax administration allows a one-month deadline to send in the necessary documents.
To avoid any errors that could increase the risk of sanctions, it is strongly advised to get expert advice, like us.
If inaccuracies or gaps are identified, negotiated outcomes exist.
Discussions may help reduce sanctions and settle the matter under the most favorable terms.
With our in-depth knowledge and registration with the French tax administration, we guarantee a precise and protected management of these procedures, ensuring reassurance when facing a tax audit.
What is the difference between a tax advisor and a tax lawyer?
Both tax advisors and tax lawyers play key, but distinct, roles, but they differ in their areas of intervention and the needs they address.
A tax consultant, such as French Tax Online, helps taxpayers and business owners in managing their tax affairs efficiently.
Their expertise helps lower tax bills within legal limits, handle tax declarations properly, and adopt the best fiscal strategies.
Their approach is risk-avoidant, aiming to minimize audit risks.
In contrast, a tax lawyer is trained in litigation and tax procedures, who primarily intervenes in conflicts with tax authorities.
They are qualified to plead cases in tax litigation and conduct proceedings for their clients.
Their role becomes decisive when administrative talks break down and judicial action is needed.
