Prevention of tax fraud and other offences

A tax offence occurs when tax obligations are not fulfilled in order to avoid paying taxes or complying with tax regulations, which can have severe legal consequences for businesses. This includes practices such as tax evasion, failure to submit tax returns, falsification of accounting books, or VAT fraud.

The most common offences are tax fraud, which involves concealing income or inflating expenses to reduce the taxes to be paid; smuggling, which involves importing goods without paying the corresponding customs duties and taxes; and falsification of tax documents, such as invoices or returns. It is important to take preventive and detection measures against these illicit practices.

Legal advice and representation for businesses

Our team of lawyers will provide your business with the necessary legal advice to prevent tax offences, as well as represent you before the competent authorities to resolve tax conflicts. Whenever possible, we will avoid the most serious consequences, such as fines, prison sentences, or civil liability arising from unlawful acts.

Tailored defence strategies in tax offences

We carefully analyse each case to create a tailored defence strategy, which may include negotiating penalties with the Public Prosecutor’s Office, seeking agreements to reduce sanctions if the accused is willing to cooperate. Another option is to demonstrate the lack of intention to defraud if there was no intent to commit fraud or if the error made was involuntary and without malice.

We ensure the protection of the rights and interests of the business. If we detect irregularities in the process, such as the illegal acquisition of evidence or any violation of the accused’s rights, we will take the necessary actions to challenge such evidence or actions.

To prevent a tax offence in a company, it is crucial to comply with all tax obligations, ensure that accounting is carried out correctly, and submit tax returns on time.

Falsification of tax documents involves altering, modifying, or fraudulently creating official documents such as invoices, tax returns, receipts, or any other type of record related to tax obligations.

What is the difference between tax fraud and tax evasion?

Tax fraud involves a deliberate act to evade taxes, while tax evasion may include failure to declare or underdeclare income, without necessarily involving direct fraud.

Prescription is the period during which tax authorities have to investigate and sanction a tax offence, generally between 4 and 10 years. After this period, the offence can no longer be prosecuted.
