We are certainly available to conduct the initial consultation via telephone conference. The cost of an initial consultation is €190 plus VAT, unless a different agreement is made.

It is important to instruct a competent defence attorney early, in order to develop an effective defence strategy. We take this into account by conducting these matters discreetly and sensibly. It is important to prevent your imagination running wild during this period of apparent calm and uncertainty and we will discuss the worst-case scenario with you and explain the options available for a voluntary self-disclosure.Ī search of premises by the tax inspector and the commencement of criminal tax proceedings, as well as the decision in favour of a voluntary self-disclosure are extremely stressful situations for the affected taxpayer. We will certainly explain the foreseeable course of the proceedings to you.This means, that the Tax Authority’s motivation to settle a case increases. At the same time, the pressure to finalise a case increases. The often strong emotional attachment of a tax inspector with “his” case following a search of premises subsides gradually. It often helps to be made aware of the fact, that the "ticking of the clock" in criminal tax proceedings is usually to the benefit of the client.
We are familiar with these situations and assist you as tax law specialists and tax advisers. What follows is a period of apparent uncomfortable silence, during which the tax inspector assesses the seized documentation. This is particularly important following an emotionally charged search of premises by the tax investigator. We know, that being accused in criminal proceedings causes great stress and we therefore act discreetly and sensibly in these matters.
