> Assessing the tax impact before a decision and representation during audits.

## Podrobnosti

Tax optimisation does not mean working around the law. It means using what
    the law allows, and doing it before a decision becomes irreversible.


Assessment before a decision


    Most tax savings arise before a transaction, not after it. If you are
    planning to buy an asset, change legal form, distribute profit or bring in
    a partner, it is worth reviewing the tax impact in advance.



    Once the contract is signed, the room for optimisation is usually nil.


What we deal with most often


    choosing between depreciation and a one-off expense
    tax treatment of expenses on the edge of deductibility
    the difference between a director's salary and a profit share
    carrying forward tax losses from earlier periods
    assessing whether VAT registration is required
    transactions between related parties and transfer pricing


Representation during an audit


    During a tax audit we deal with the tax authority, prepare the requested
    documents and explain how items were recorded. An audit is better handled
    from day one than once the findings report arrives.



    If an error comes to light while preparing, a voluntary supplementary return
    is always better than the same error found by the auditor — the penalty is
    substantially lower.


The limits of our advice


    We are an accounting firm, not tax advisors registered with the professional
    chamber. For more complex cases — particularly cross-border structures — we
    will say when a registered tax advisor is needed and prepare the documents
    for them.


Pricing


    By scope. A short consultation on a single question is not billed to existing
    clients. For a broader assessment we agree the price in advance.

## Časté otázky

### When should I get in touch — before or after a transaction?

Beforehand. Most tax savings arise before a decision is made. Once a contract is signed, there's usually no room left for optimisation.

### Do you represent clients during a tax audit?

Yes. We communicate with the tax authority, prepare documentation and explain the accounting treatment. It's better to handle an audit from day one rather than only once a report is issued.

### Are you tax advisors?

We're an accounting firm, not tax advisors registered with the chamber. For more complex cases we'll tell you when it's appropriate to consult one, and we'll prepare the supporting documents.

### How much does a consultation cost?

We don't charge existing clients for a short consultation on a single question. For a more extensive review, we agree on a price in advance.
