With national budgets strained and topics as tax morality and tax fairness high on the agenda, tax authorities are under constantly growing pressure to generate tax revenue. The result is a more focused approach to identifying tax issues and a more resourceful argumentation of the tax authorities in supporting the tax assessments they make.

In this ever more challenging tax environment, companies often find themselves in a position where they have to manage complex and demanding enquiries from the tax authorities.
