(Procedural) Criminal tax law
(Procedural) Criminal tax law focuses on cases of (suspected) tax fraud. These are cases where often the criminal investigation service of the Tax Department, i.e. FIOD, is involved. Also, they are often related to forgery of documents and money-laundering.
A FIOD case often goes hand in hand with corrections in the fiscal procedure and tax penalties. Whether the suspected tax fraud can be proven is therefore determined by the underlying Tax law. For the litigation strategy it is therefore important to properly align the actions in the criminal case and the fiscal proceedings. Ill-considered actions in the fiscal proceedings may affect the result of the criminal case, and vice versa. The chances of success are largely determined by the way in which the tax subject handles the case from the onset. It is therefore no luxury to call in the help of one of our attorneys in the earliest possible stage.
Given the number of tax attorneys working for our office, we were already exceptionally well suited for handling such cases.
