Assessments and Demands
Examining the basis of the demand, tax documents, and relevant factual and legal issues.
Strategy and representation in administrative and judicial tax disputes.
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.
Examining the basis of the demand, tax documents, and relevant factual and legal issues.
Preparing challenges, submissions, and appeals before the competent adjudicative bodies.
Assessing and pursuing appropriate court measures, including defenses in tax enforcement proceedings, according to the case.
Monitoring case law and assessing the appeals and measures appropriate to each procedural stage.
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.
Gustavo Santos de Almeida and Fernanda Trindade dos Santos de Almeida lead the firm. They take part in case assessment, strategy development, and oversight of each engagement.
