Judicial and Out-of-Court Tax Dispute Proceedings.

Even in tax law matters, you benefit from legal protection against official measures, as guaranteed by the Basic Law. We represent you in both out-of-court tax dispute proceedings (such as objections) and judicial tax dispute proceedings through all instances. Let our experienced tax lawyers and tax advisors assist you.

How can we assist you?

Out-of-Court Tax Dispute Proceedings

The Basic Law guarantees the right to review all official measures and actions. Tax dispute proceedings usually begin with an objection against the relevant measure (e.g., a tax assessment notice).

Typically, the responsible case worker will review the matter again themselves and, if necessary, correct the relevant decision. In more complex cases, special appeal offices (Rechtsbehelfsstellen - RBST) within the tax authorities become involved. If the RBST also confirms the tax authority's original decision, judicial tax dispute proceedings become necessary.

Judicial Tax Dispute Proceedings

If the tax office does not grant the objection, there is the option to pursue legal action – meaning to file a lawsuit. Lawsuits against decisions by tax offices are filed before the respective competent tax court.

In problematic cases, we are happy to assist you with reviewing tax assessment notices, evaluating the chances of success for a lawsuit, and initiating it if necessary.
