Compliance: Customised tax compliance management systems

With the tightening of tax regulations, the increased requirements of the tax authorities regarding the documentation of work processes and the more intensive use of criminal tax law as a ‘means of exerting pressure’, tax compliance is becoming ever more important. Companies are required to comply with legal requirements and avoid sanctions. We advise and support you in the development and implementation of customised tax compliance management systems (tax CMS).

Customised advice and practice-oriented solutions

Our advice is based on extensive experience from representing companies and company managers in tax dispute and tax investigation proceedings. Our aim is not to sell you a standard product, but to set up a compliance system that is customised to your company. If there are uncertainties regarding the treatment of certain tax issues, we will provide binding information and supplementary explanations for the current tax return. If incorrect tax returns have already been submitted or if you have failed to submit tax returns, we will support you in correcting them.

Expertise that sets standards

In the area of conflict between the legal requirements of Section 153 AO (‘tax correction’), Sections 371, 378 AO (‘voluntary disclosure exempting from penalties or fines’) and Section 130 OWiG (‘organisational culpability’), no law firm in Germany has - it is no exaggeration to say - broader expertise than our firm. We regularly advise companies of all sizes, public corporations and non-profit organisations on compliance issues. Proof of our expertise is the standard work ‘Tax Compliance’ published by Otto Schmidt Verlag.
