on the issues involved and a well-organized response.
A tax audit is a process in which the tax authorities examine a company's overall tax treatment and filing history.
It is essential to accurately identify the key issues from the earliest stage of the audit and to systematically organize the relevant facts and legal basis for the company's position.
VITAL TAX takes the time to understand your company's business structure and key transactions, and closely reviews the tax items under audit and the key issues involved — providing expert support throughout the entire tax audit process, from document submission and responses to requests for explanation through to addressing the substantive tax issues raised.
