WHO WE ARE

The web of tax laws and regulations in Brazil result in an extremely difficult task by the tax and accounting departments of companies to properly and timely file all necessary reports, as well as pay their dues. This very often results in auditing by the tax authorities, which almost always end in heavy fines for the tax payers. Our team has the necessary expertise to provide the auditing officers with the necessary information, as well as argue on behalf of the client during the auditing process, providing a smooth process and, if the client ends up by being fined, argue on his behalf before the respective administrative courts, aiming to cancel or reduce the penalty.

Should the administrative courts deny a company’s request to cancel or reduce the penalties imposed, or should the company or tax payer believe it has over paid any tax, our team of lawyers and accountants are fully equipped to litigate on their behalf before all tax courts, aiming to cancel the penalties imposed, or obtain a refund or tax credit from over paid amounts. For their proper day to day activities, all Brazilian tax payers are required to have different tax certificates of good standing, which is becoming more and more difficult to obtain, due to our intricate tax system. We have the necessary expertise to file all necessary claims on behalf of our clients, in order to timely obtain the tax certificates of good standing.

During the statute of limitation of 5 years, all tax payers in Brazil are entitled to revise their tax records which, due to the extremely complex tax regulations, very often result in fairly large tax credits on their behalf, sometimes in the millions of Dollars. Our accounting team has decades of experience in independently auditing the tax payer’s records and raising all over paid amounts, after which the legal team will take the steps towards filing the necessary reports and, if need, request the competent courts to reimburse the client of all such amounts.
