Tax Controversy & Litigation Services Middle East
Tax litigation and controversy
With the growing demand on taxpayers for more tax transparency as well as the increasing amount of information available to the tax authorities through the automatic exchange of information, tax litigation cases are constantly evolving in number and technical complexity.
Generally, a tax litigation process is lengthy, costly and does not leave much room for businesses to respond in a strategic and organized manner. Consequently, it is important for businesses to proactively prepare and strategize for the tax audit beforehand.
Our tax litigation and controversy services cover end-to-end support throughout the full audit cycle and aim at achieving an ideal outcome within a reasonable timeframe.
Our tax litigation and controversy services cover the following:
-
Ex-ante audit support:
we help businesses conduct a pre-audit assessment to evaluate their readiness for a tax audit in terms of processes, data gathering, reporting, etc. The ex-ante audit assessment aims at identifying areas of risks and opportunities that can be addressed by businesses proactively. We help you establish a robust audit defence strategy.
-
In-audit support:
we help businesses throughout the full audit cycle from the administrative assessment through the designated authorities / committees’ hearings. We have extensive experience working on highly complex tax cases and successfully defending taxpayers in front of various tax authorities. We help you draft and review formal responses to tax authorities queries and negotiate the most beneficial outcomes through all the stages of the tax audit process.
-
Post-audit support:
we help businesses analyse and implement the outcome of a tax audit as it comes to related tax, finance and legal implications. We also assist businesses in conducting an impact assessment of all tax and other implications that a tax audit may have on their current business and financial operations.
