Tax Disputes Lawyer — Legal Support for Businesses and Individuals

Tax law is one of the most significant and sensitive areas of law for both businesses and individuals. Matters involving the Revenue Service, tax audits, additional assessments, penalties and interest, the tax evaluation of transactions, and the proper structuring of business activity often require not only accounting expertise but clear legal analysis as well.

L&L Consulting's lawyers represent the interests of businesses and individuals in tax disputes and provide legal support both at the stage of preventing and planning around tax risks and in resolving issues that have already arisen. Our objective is to help clients properly assess tax risks, make legally sound decisions, and defend their interests before the Revenue Service, in administrative proceedings, and in court.

Legal involvement is especially important when the matter involves a tax audit, an appeal of a tax act, additional assessed taxes, penalties and interest, the tax evaluation of international operations, and selecting a legally sound business model that reduces tax exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the Revenue Service initiates a tax audit?

The priority is to assess the scope of the audit, the volume of documentation requested, and the legal position that should be communicated to the Revenue Service. Early legal involvement often reduces the likelihood of errors and additional risks arising during the process.

Can a tax act, penalty, or additional assessment be appealed?

Yes. In specific cases, a tax act, additionally assessed tax, penalty, or interest may be legally reviewed and appealed through the applicable administrative or judicial procedures.

Is consultation with an accountant alone sufficient for tax matters?

Accounting support is essential for day-to-day bookkeeping; however, when the matter involves legal interpretation, a tax dispute, an audit, the appeal of a tax act, or complex transactions, legal assessment is also required.

How is income from cryptocurrency taxed in Georgia?

The tax assessment of cryptocurrency-related income depends on the form of activity, the nature of the transaction, the source of income, and the status of the person involved. The approach to taxation may differ between individuals and legal entities, which is why each case requires individual analysis.

When does a business need to engage a tax lawyer?

Legal involvement is advisable not only when a dispute has already arisen, but also when a business is planning a new operation, changing its business model, entering into foreign relationships, or receiving a request from the Revenue Service that may create tax exposure.
