We provide independent tax opinions and second opinions in situations where clarity and careful substantiation are essential. Our opinions are based on a full assessment of the facts, relevant legislation, case law and the practical interpretation of the tax rules. We identify the associated risks and potential procedural outcomes and present a clear, well-supported position that can be used for decision-making within your business or private structure.
Our aim is to deliver a clear, technically sound and balanced assessment that fits your specific circumstances, without relying on earlier assumptions or existing internal positions. An independent perspective can be particularly valuable where internal advisors or long-standing advisers are closely involved in the matter and a fresh, objective evaluation is needed.
We support clients in tax dispute resolution, including objection and appeal procedures. This involves assessing the legal basis of the dispute, structuring the arguments and preparing a file that meets the requirements of the Dutch Tax Administration and the courts. We ensure that the position is fully and consistently substantiated, that all relevant documents are provided on time and that the formal procedural steps are properly observed.
In many cases, it is advisable to have an objection or appeal handled by an independent advisor rather than by the regular tax advisor. A fresh perspective often leads to sharper argumentation, a more objective assessment of the chances of success and a more balanced presentation of the facts. In this role, we can manage the entire procedure or work alongside your existing advisor, ensuring that your position is defended as strongly and coherently as possible.
