Tax audits
The main purpose of a tax audit is to verify the correctness of ongoing calculations in the light of the applicable provisions of tax law.
The scope of the audit is agreed on individually, on a case-by-case basis. It may cover all operations of the company or pertain only to certain selected areas. In particular, the scope of such an audit typically covers income tax, VAT as well as fiscal procedures employed at the Client's company.
We also perform audits aimed at verifying the correct qualification of buildings listed in the accounts for the purposes of determining the amount of property tax. When approached by prospective buyers, we also perform tax and legal audits with the aim of verifying the correctness of tax settlements and evaluating the risk present in this respect (due diligence). Such audits are helpful in deciding on a potential purchase or takeover of a given entity's operations.
The premise of the audit is to evaluate the correctness of qualification adopted for particular activities and events pursuant to the provisions of tax law, and identify areas of increased tax risk. Every audit report includes a recommendation to facilitate the audited entity in eliminating or minimizing the negative consequences of potential control audits by tax authorities.
Tax audits are typically performed on request from the concerned companies themselves, to verify the correctness of their tax settlements. We also conduct audits commissioned by supervisory boards wiling to assess the performance of company management boards.
