Tax dispute resolution
If you receive an unsatisfactory tax assessment
If you receive a tax assessment that you disagree with, you can file an objection with the tax office.
In this case, we will obtain a power of attorney called a "Certificate of Tax Agency Authority" and act as your representative in negotiations with the tax authorities.
Our firm also handles tax disputes on a one-off basis, and we have a track record of filing objections with tax offices and requests for reinvestigation with the National Tax Tribunal in cases such as the following:
Excessive executive compensation / Excessive executive retirement benefits
Withholding tax obligation for payments to non-residents
◯ Determination of Resident / Non-Resident
Secondary tax liability
For your reference, the overall picture of tax litigation is as follows.
