‘I always told myself: they won’t come knocking at my door. This time I was wrong...’
It could happen to anyone: an inspection of the accounts by the tax authority or, fortunately less frequently, an unexpected visit from the Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Department. If either of these does happen you have a single priority: arranging legal assistance as quickly as possible. The tax authority derives its authority from the State Taxes Act. Our lawyers know this act too, like the back of their hand.
Rapid response
Do you know what information you are obliged to provide? When does the situation develop into an interrogation, with all the associated legal safeguards? Often one situation flows ‘seamlessly’ into another and it’s important you are aware of your rights, partly because the early stages of an investigation are essential for the course it takes and therefore for the outcome. At these times you have to be able to respond rapidly. On a visit from the Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Department all the procedures pertaining to criminal law are set in motion and legal assistance is even more important.
Economic offences
But there’s more to tax criminal law, for instance economic criminal law, including environmental offences and other economic offences relating to the Consumer Goods Act, the Securities Transactions (Supervision) Act, the Working Hours Act and the Door-to-Door Sales Act.
Our lawyers are at home in these fields.
