Tax Advice

A perfectly legal reduction of the tax burden for its clients is a focal point of the work done by our office. The correct and shrewd planning of the fiscal choices in Italy and abroad, with full respect for the relevant fiscal laws, distinguishes the tax advisory work we do. In addition our organisation provides the taxpayer with all the assistance required during the more difficult phases of his relationship with the Financial Authorities, in order to both avoid disputes and to manage and find the right solution if these should arise. The office assists the taxpayer during revenue inspections undertaken by the Financial Authorities or by Customs and Excise, and in the steps to be taken to cancel orders regarding taxation. When it has not been possible to prevent an action the office will undertake the defence in the disputes before the competent tax boards (preparation of appeals, memorandums, applications for the suspension of the collection of taxes, appearances in court, etc.) and the eventual definition of the controversy by agreeing a figure or by coming to terms in court. The office is also able to conduct the defence if the case, and related cases, should reach the Supreme Court.
