Tax Law

Tax Litigation

Strategy and representation in administrative and judicial tax disputes.

When we can help.

Challenging a tax demand requires analysis of its origin, its legal basis, and the documents supporting the taxpayer's position. Our work covers case assessment and the pursuit of available defenses in administrative or court proceedings.

  • Analyzing notices of violation, tax assessments, and demands.
  • Preparing challenges and appeals in administrative tax proceedings.
  • Assessing court measures concerning tax demands, collection, and rights.
  • Organizing the defense in tax enforcement proceedings and monitoring subsequent developments.

How we work.

01

Assessments and Demands

Examining the basis of the demand, tax documents, and relevant factual and legal issues.

02

Administrative Tax Defense

Preparing challenges, submissions, and appeals before the competent adjudicative bodies.

03

Court Litigation

Assessing and pursuing appropriate court measures, including defenses in tax enforcement proceedings, according to the case.

04

Precedents and Case Continuity

Monitoring case law and assessing the appeals and measures appropriate to each procedural stage.

From the tax demand to the defense strategy.

The analysis considers the tax, period, origin of the demand, authority's reasoning, and available documents. These elements guide the examination of facts, the tax base, liability, and other relevant legal issues.

Strategy also addresses the effects of collection and the relationship between administrative and court measures. Tax and accounting information is integrated with the legal analysis, respecting each professional's responsibilities.

Administrative tax defense is part of this tax practice and connects with Administrative Proceedings. Findings from disputes may also inform preventive Tax Advisory reviews, according to the needs identified.
