The basic method of use of the knowledge of tax advisors for the purposes of specific business solutions is a written opinion, in which we make a comprehensive analysis of the tax consequences of certain economic events, existing or planned commercial transactions, contracts, etc. This avoids many unpleasant situations in the future, especially in the case of concluding contracts or agreements for a significant amount, or planning of action designed to neutralize any adverse tax consequences.
Our opinions present all or chosen tax consequences resulting from selected business solution. They point out not only risk and potential risk of calling into question the type of business event but also contain useful recommendations, which are helpful in avoiding or minimizing the tax risks.
In many cases, particularly related to the events that have already occurred, the opinion may also indicate a line of argument defending tax settlement or taxation of the economic event. As it is clear from our experience, tax and fiscal authorities accept much more likely a tax settlement of the economic event, which was confirmed in a written opinion of tax advisors.
The opinion may also be used as an argument in the negotiations with the contractors and as a sort of proof (argument) on an ongoing investigation or tax litigation. Also, in many cases, the opinion of tax advisors may protect those responsible for the tax settlement from the negative effects resulting from the tax penal code.
In our tax opinions we are always trying to express our position in a clear manner and in accordance with our knowledge and experience in the field, even if our views are not in accordance with official interpretations of the tax authorities.
