Tax
Our tax work joins at two points: when a transaction structure has to be built so that it can be defended later, and when the tax authority is already asking. In the second case what counts is whether the documentation is in order on day one of the audit.
- Representation in tax audits, supervisory reviews and appeal proceedings
- Tax review of transactions and corporate structures, and international tax questions
- Advice on advertising tax and sector-specific special taxes
- The legal side of transfer pricing and related-party questions
- Identifying tax exposure during corporate due diligence
- Judicial review of tax authority decisions
Describe the matter in a few sentences. We reply within one working day with what we need for the next step.

Questions clients ask us
What should a company do when a tax audit starts?
First establish which tax and which period the audit covers, because that bounds what may and must be handed over. Appoint one contact person, keep an itemised list of every document provided, and file observations on the audit report: the room for a later appeal depends on what made it into the file.
If a foreign company provides services in Hungary, does it become taxable here?
It depends on whether a permanent establishment arises and on what the relevant double tax treaty says. Sustained presence on site, own employees and authority to conclude contracts typically create a permanent establishment; VAT registration is a separate question that can arise even without one.
