Taxation does not forgive improvisation.
For a company, taxation is the area where a seemingly minor decision — an invoice, a classification, a transaction between related parties — can turn, years later, into a major payment obligation, with interest, penalties and, sometimes, a criminal file.
In recent years the tax authority has become significantly more aggressive and far better equipped technically. Audits are more frequent, more thoroughly documented and frequently end with considerable amounts, recalculated retroactively. In such a context, taxation ceases to be a purely accounting matter and becomes, in equal measure, a legal one: what can be proven, which classification holds, which deadlines are running.
My tax practice starts from a simple conviction: most serious tax problems could have been prevented, and those that do reach litigation are won on technical substance, not on procedural formulas. This requires someone who understands both the figure and the rule — exactly the convergence of the three capacities I bring together.
