Four Pivotal Moments in the Company's History
What should you do before the problem arises?

The company is profitable and attends trade shows, including those abroad. The Tax Administration sends a request for clarification: one letter and a few questions. The accountant responds quickly, and the business owners aren’t even aware of the matter.
In a few months, you'll receive a call from a number starting with 029 51. A tax audit will begin, and that earlier response will now form part of the basis for the audit.
According to the Tax Administration’s own data, 80 % of tax audits result in criminal investigations. The responses provided during the tax audit are also included in the criminal case. That is why the initial steps are so important.
In this webinar, we'll cover:
- What a Tax Audit Is and What It Isn't: Your Rights and the Rights of the Tax Administration
- How does the audit proceed from the request for clarification to the final decision, and at what stage can you still influence the outcome?
- Three Common Findings: Entertainment Expenses, Bringing the Family Along on Business Trips, and Personal Cars vs. Company Cars
- When Does a Tax Matter Become a Criminal Case?
- How do you handle a request for clarification, and how do you prevent such findings from arising in the first place?
Intended for: Entrepreneurs, business owners, CEOs, and financial executives. This webinar will be particularly beneficial for those whose company’s accountant handles communications with the Tax Administration.
