Tax audits and customs decisions often involve extensive records and a close connection between facts and accounting evidence. The review identifies the transactions, decision and explanations already submitted. Legal issues are considered alongside the technical records, while legal assistance remains distinct from accounting services.
How legal assistance can help
Work may include review of audit findings, assessments and sanctions, preparation of objections or challenges, and representation in agreed proceedings. Customs issues may require declaration, transport, valuation and origin records. Any need for accounting or technical expertise is discussed separately, including the specialist’s role and supporting documents.
Audits and challenges; tax liabilities; customs disputes.
Documents for the first discussion
Bring audit reports, decisions, notices, delivery evidence, contracts, invoices and relevant declarations. For imports or exports, provide customs and transport records. Identify documents already requested by the authority and the person maintaining the underlying accounts.
Consultation and working arrangements
The initial discussion clarifies the facts, your objective and the current stage of the matter. Tell the office whether you have received a summons, decision, notice or any document requiring a response. The complete document and the date it was received help assess the situation. A short chronology separates established facts from points that still need supporting evidence.
Before accepting a matter, the office checks whether assistance can be provided, including possible conflicts of interest. After reviewing the documents, the available options, evidence, foreseeable procedural expenses and scope of representation are discussed. The terms of engagement depend on the work required and are agreed directly. A case outcome depends on the facts, evidence and the competent authority’s assessment; it cannot be promised in advance.
Consultations at the Chișinău office are by appointment. If you are elsewhere in Moldova or abroad, communication arrangements, language and document delivery can be discussed first. Start with a brief summary; detailed files and sensitive information can then be sent by the agreed method. A contact form submission is an enquiry. Representation is accepted and confirmed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Can the company’s accountant join the review?
Yes, where agreed and with clear roles. The accountant can explain transactions and records; the lawyer assesses legal and procedural issues. Organising the documents by transaction and period helps reduce uncertainty and repeated requests.
How are options assessed before litigation?
The review starts with complete documents, provable facts and your objective. Strengths, difficulties, procedural expenses and missing records are discussed. An initial assessment may need revision after access to the file or the other party’s position. The purpose is an informed decision about the next step, not a guarantee of success.
Can I start with a remote discussion?
You may request an initial discussion using an agreed communication method. State your location, documents received and any scheduled procedural dates. The office will clarify what can be reviewed remotely and what formalities representation may require. Office meetings are arranged in advance.
