Incorrect or contentious tax assessments are not uncommon in Germany. Fortunately, administrative acts such as tax assessments do not have to be accepted. If you receive your tax assessment and realise that it is incorrect or that you disagree with the result, you have the option of settling the tax dispute out of court by filing an objection against the tax assessment. If this remains unsuccessful, you can file a complaint with the German tax court with the support of a lawyer to have the tax office’s decision reviewed again. However, this procedure requires a sound knowledge of German tax law and current case law.
In this context, the German law firm Schlun & Elseven Rechtsanwälte offers skilled and committed legal assistance. Regardless of whether your matter concerns the contestation of an incorrect tax assessment notice or voluntary self-disclosure in the event of tax evasion – our German tax lawyers are at your side and will provide you with comprehensive legal advice.
