These tax office specialists provide guidance on general tax matters. The aim is to remove any ‘stumbling blocks’ or ‘reluctance’ when dealing with the tax office and to support new businesses during their start-up phase, i.e. for around six months.
However, the tax office is not permitted to offer comprehensive tax advice, particularly regarding tax planning options. This is reserved for qualified tax advisers.
If you would like to take advantage of this service, please be sure to make an appointment.
