Tax audit is a comprehensive examination of tax settlements for correctness, in order to diagnose and minimise or eliminate any irregularities and the resulting potential tax risks. Moreover, a tax audit is a highly effective tool for optimising tax liabilities, providing real opportunities for improving financial results.

At the end of the review, we write up a report providing: a diagnosis of irregularities and issues generating tax risks, as well as an assessment of tax consequences related to issues raised by the client. We also provide recommendations of correct solutions and activities helping reduce or eliminate potential tax risks.
