Tax & Customs Disputes

Scope of service

The final scope is confirmed after reviewing the facts, documents, jurisdiction, and applicable deadlines.

Identify the tax or customs measure, applicable period, legal regime and amendments, service date, objection or appeal deadline, collection status, competent committee or court, and any security or payment requirement.

Reconcile returns, ledgers, electronic invoices and receipts, withholding, payroll, VAT, income-tax, stamp-tax, transfer-pricing, import, valuation, tariff-classification, origin, and exemption records to the disputed adjustments.

Manage examination and audit responses, inspection minutes, information requests, sampling, document production, meetings, and technical explanations while preserving objections and a complete evidence trail.

Prepare reasoned objections, internal-committee submissions, settlement or dispute-resolution applications, expert briefs, court pleadings, and requests to suspend or manage collection where legally available.

Coordinate accountants, auditors, customs brokers, valuation, origin, classification, transfer-pricing, industry, and other specialists so legal submissions and numerical schedules remain consistent.

Track decisions, assessments, payment plans, guarantees, refunds, set-off, enforcement, judgments, and implementation, while separating contentious representation from any independently regulated accounting or audit function.
