The demands on the tax function in companies are changing. The challenge of efficiently combining cost, benefit and risk management is increasingly taking centre stage. Companies and their tax departments are focussing on risk defence and liability options.
Increasing digitalisation in the tax sector is also leading to far-reaching changes in data exchange with the tax authorities and in tax audits. Here, too, it is important to be optimally positioned for the future, with the selection of the right technologies playing an increasingly important role.
We have many years of experience, a high level of expertise in tax law and criminal tax law and the ability to assert ourselves both in tax disputes and in criminal proceedings. We analyse the tax structures of our clients and thus help to either identify criminal tax risks at an early stage or to support and represent companies in the context of tax audits or qualified voluntary disclosures. The same applies to tax investigation proceedings. In particular, we have proven expertise in the assessment of highly complex structures.
Self-disclosures - a bridge to tax honesty

Adequate tax risk management means thinking outside the box. Many risks lie outside the immediate sphere of influence of the tax departments and in interfaces. Timely and continuous involvement of the tax department is a key element in connection herewith.
Tax, legal and business aspects as well as internal processes have to be interlinked. Our goal is to pursue an integrated approach – nationally and internationally. Through our international network, we also cover relevant issues globally and support you worldwide.
An essential component of efficient tax risk management is the establishment and documentation of an effective tax compliance management system. In addition to protecting management and the tax department, it provides important starting points for tax optimization.
Frequently, the introduction and ongoing maintenance of a tax compliance management system is also used in order to make adjustments to organizational structures, processes and systems and to align the function of the tax department to meet future needs.
Additional benefits arise from the creation of procedural requirements for...
Our goal is to create a practicable tax compliance management system specifically tailored to the respective company, which provides reliable and efficient support and guidance in the practical handling of all relevant tax issues.
In this context, the performance of periodic tax audits has proven its worth. These serve the ongoing review, adjustment and documentation within the scope of the tax compliance management system as well as the targeted evaluation of risks and opportunities during a tax compliance management system’s existence. Selective tax audits can serve several purposes and can be conducted for various reasons. In addition to ongoing documentation as part of a tax compliance management system, we also perform validations in the run-up to due diligence audits or changes of the board of directors and provide support in the preparation of tax audits.
Tax compliance: avoiding risks, exploiting opportunitie
Ines Paucksch Partner German CPA, Certified Tax Advisor
Future trends are also emerging in the conduct of tax audits. There will be a shift from small-scale case-by-case analyses toward data analysis, the determination of key audit issues and the examination of internal processes. Documents relating to a tax compliance management system will become increasingly important in this context. This is clearly shown by developments in other countries. We will gladly support and accompany you in all phases of the tax audit.
