Tax Litigation

Effective defence begins long before the hearing

Would you rather prepare your arguments today or search for them tomorrow?

We represent taxpayers during preliminary checks, tax and customs audits, tax proceedings before the tax authorities, and proceedings before administrative courts.

For tax authorities, an audit is routine. For management, it means uncertainty.

For many taxpayers and management board members, their first tax audit is one of the most stressful events in their professional lives.

 

Uncertainty about the scope of the tax authorities’ requests, personal liability, potential sanctions and the further course of proceedings can negatively affect both the company and those responsible for managing it.

 

For foreign owners and international groups, the situation can be even more challenging. Cultural differences, different administrative practices and unfamiliarity with the Polish tax environment mean that even experienced managers may not know what to expect when facing a dispute with the Polish tax authorities.

 

We take the lead in disputes with tax authorities and support management boards in maintaining business continuity throughout the proceedings.

Tax disputes are rarely about the law alone

Polish tax legislation is constantly evolving, and its application is often inconsistent.

 

In many disputes, the underlying issue is a different interpretation of the law by the tax authorities, an expansion of the scope of activities undertaken during an audit, or discrepancies between administrative practice and the position taken by administrative courts.

 

Effective defence therefore requires more than substantive legal and tax expertise. It depends largely on practical experience in handling disputes, developing persuasive arguments, and anticipating and understanding the actions of the tax authorities.

 

The earlier a defence strategy is implemented, the greater the opportunity to mitigate costly tax consequences, including interest, penalties, personal liability of management board members, fiscal criminal liability, and disruption to the company’s day-to-day operations.

We don’t wait for you to ask. We proactively defend your position.

We take responsibility for your tax security and actively defend your interests in disputes with tax authorities and before administrative courts. As a member of GGI Global Alliance, one of the world’s largest networks of independent professional firms, we can support and defend your interests wherever you do business.

Build Your Defence Strategy:

Taxpayer Situation Assessment and Strategic Planning

We assess tax risks, review documentation and determine the strategy for handling the case. We coordinate cross-border disputes and protect taxpayers’ interests in other jurisdictions.

Preliminary Checks

We represent taxpayers during preliminary checks conducted by tax authorities, the most common form of verification in tax matters. We focus particularly on procedural requirements, the permissible scope of preliminary checks and ensuring that the tax authorities act within the powers granted to them under the Polish Tax Ordinance.

Tax Audits and Administrative Tax Proceedings

Time becomes particularly important during tax audits and administrative tax proceedings. We prepare arguments and supporting documentation and subsequently defend the taxpayer’s position throughout the audit and proceedings. These are formal procedures that will often result in an administrative decision in a specific tax matter.

Customs and Tax Audits

In customs and tax audits, immediate action is essential. We take the lead without unnecessary delay, manage the taxpayer’s response to the audit and safeguard business continuity throughout the process. A customs and tax audit is the most formalised form of audit conducted by the Polish National Revenue Administration.

Appeal Proceedings

An administrative decision issued by a tax authority does not necessarily mean the end of the case. We prepare appeals against administrative decisions and complaints against procedural orders issued by tax authorities.

Proceedings before Voivodeship Administrative Courts

We represent taxpayers before Voivodeship Administrative Courts and defend their position at hearings. We challenge unlawful decisions of tax authorities and present the legal and factual arguments developed throughout the earlier stages of the case.

Proceedings before the Supreme Administrative Court

We conduct cases before the Supreme Administrative Court, prepare cassation appeals and represent taxpayers at hearings. We focus our arguments on the key violations of substantive and procedural law.

The risk is not the audit itself, but facing it without a proper defence.

Tax disputes involve not only the management board of the audited entity, but also external accountants, employees and advisors. Our role is to coordinate the entire process and take responsibility for communications with the tax authorities.
