VAT Audit and Tax Authority Enquiry Support
If a tax authority opens an enquiry, our local accountants handle the correspondence and prepare the evidence.
VAT audits and information requests are common for foreign sellers, especially after registration or a large refund. Answers usually have to be in the local language and within a short deadline.
We review the request, gather the evidence from your records, respond to the tax office and work to close the audit with as little disruption and as few penalties as possible.
Price: €200 per hour. See all prices on our pricing page.
What is included
- Review of the audit request
- Preparation of supporting documents
- Correspondence with the tax authority in the local language
Frequently asked questions
How is audit support charged?
Audit support is billed at €200 per hour, because the work depends on the scope of each enquiry. We estimate the hours before starting.
