Objection and appeal VAT returns
Do you disagree with the tax authorities and can’t resolve it with the tax inspector? You probably first try to assert your rights through an objection procedure. If this does not result in the desired ruling from the tax authorities, you can appeal or take the case to the Supreme Court. At LENOS c.s., we can handle the objection and appeal procedure for VAT returns. Naturally, our VAT specialists can assess the feasibility of the case in advance. We closely follow both national and international VAT developments, which allows us to assist you both domestically and abroad.
In-depth expertise
Knowledge of objections and appeals for VAT returns is crucial. We sometimes see from a distance that certain appeal procedures are immediately nipped in the bud due to formal errors. The person submitting the appeal sometimes has a strong case, but is, for example, unfamiliar with the exact formalities of the process. He overlooks certain things and still loses. Our VAT specialists can prevent this by conducting the objection and appeal procedure for your VAT return.
