Tax law & tax disputes
Assessment notices, appeal preparation and document-led analysis of tax disputes.
A Revenue Department letter raises three immediate questions: what kind of notice is it, which deadline applies, and which figures are disputed?
The office organises the tax record and connects accounts, contracts and money flows with the reasons given in an assessment. The purpose is to understand the dispute before choosing a response.
An appeal, a request to defer payment and court proceedings have different requirements. The tax type and the actual notice must be checked; one deadline should not be assumed to cover every situation.
Matters for review
- Audit correspondence and assessment notices
- Issues and documents for an assessment appeal
- VAT, income-tax and withholding-tax disputes
- Assessment of tax litigation and tax-related criminal issues
Documents to prepare
- All notices and proof of receipt
- Tax returns, accounting records and calculations
- Tax invoices, contracts and payment records
Getting started
- Share a short summary and key dates.
- Review the records and the help you need.
- Discuss the approach and confirm scope before work starts.
Service questions
Should I wait until every document is ready?
Make contact with the notice and its receipt date first, so deadlines and missing records can be prioritised.
Does an appeal automatically suspend payment?
No. A separate review of the requirements and approval for deferring payment is needed.
