Negotiation of amicable agreements

​

At Twin Lisbet, our approach is centered on the search for amicable solutions as well as representation before the competent courts. Faced with an increase in contributions by the tax authorities, often without sufficient justification, we are committed to protecting your interests with rigor and integrity, whether in cases relating to accusations of tax fraud or undeclared work. Our team is your ally in resolving your disputes favorably thanks to a meticulous method and in-depth knowledge of tax laws.

Judicial hearings

​

The tax dispute process is complex and can extend over months or years, requiring a thorough understanding of technical regulations and legal procedures. To maximize your chances at a hearing, our team takes care of the complete preparation of your case with meticulous care, ensuring a solid presentation and defense of your case. We represent you personally during hearings, guaranteeing a robust and strategic defense of your rights.

Notice of assessment and opposition

​

If you receive a notice of assessment, it is crucial to act quickly. You generally have 90 days to dispute this notice. Our team is dedicated to the detailed preparation of your dispute file, aimed at overturning or reducing the contributions proposed by the authorities. We transform what could be perceived as an administrative procedure into an opportunity for a proactive and favorable resolution of your tax situation.
