Counseling and consultation

Tax consultation

At EFF, we offer online tax assistance. This is a practical service that allows you to quickly get the support of an advisor on your case online. Online consultations are conducted by a certified tax advisor who has experience in solving various accounting and tax problems. The subject of the consultation can be any matter in the field of tax law, such as how to settle accounts with Tax Authorities in the European Union, interpretation of the latest regulations or letters sent from tax authorities. Both the inquiry and the specialist’s opinion and recommendations are transmitted electronically, via email or video conference, so you can use this service regardless of your location.

We provide tax advice and recommendations through:

• mail contact – after obtaining information from the client about the type of business, the specifics of the industry, the current tax and legal status of the enterprise, our tax advisor familiarizes himself with the information and documents sent, then together with specialists analyzes the tax situation and prepares a set of recommendations and solutions. We also assess the correctness and tax risks of other solutions feasible for the client.
• videoconference call – alternatively, we also organize online meetings on the Teams/Zoom platform with CEOs and accounting departments of companies that need tax support. Typically, during an one-hour online consultation, we get to know the specifics of the client’s business, detail the aspects that are important to us in real time, and provide advice and recommendations and suggest the best scenarios. If the case is complex and requires further analysis, the video conference can be repeated or transferred to an email consultation.

Regardless of the form of the consultation, it always takes place after acceptance and payment of the rate, previously estimated by the tax consultant on the basis of information obtained from the client. Sending an inquiry with a description of the problem and an estimate of the consultant’s work is free of charge and does not involve any fees on the part of the client.

Business consultation

We offer support to growing companies facing a wide range of business models. A personalized online consultation with our consultant focuses on key areas for the client, whether they relate to B2B or B2C sales. We will prepare recommendations not only on topics related to the sales process itself, but also help identify necessary implementations. Based on many years of experience and knowledge of many industries and best practices, we will develop a plan for your business, which, in the long run, will contribute to increasing your company’s sales. An important part of business consulting is foreign expansion, the benefits of which are enjoyed by almost 90% of our current clients. International sales allow you to tap into the potential of additional markets and give you the opportunity to reach an even larger audience for your goods or services, thus leading to scaling your business. We will help you open up to foreign countries, not only in terms of business, but also in terms of legal procedures and taxation.

Audit and tax audit support

EFF offers comprehensive support during VAT audit activities before the Tax Offices in European Union countries. Since EFF specialists speak a total of nearly 15 European languages, we manage to avoid the language barrier and improve contact with officials, which is of great importance during a tax audit.

During the years of EFF’s activity, we have gained extensive experience in representing our clients during tax audits and tax and penal-fiscal proceedings in European Union countries. Our past practices clearly indicate that a well thought-out and consistent strategy reduces the risk of a negative outcome on the part of the Tax Offices.

Our support primarily includes:

• conducting a detailed analysis of the documents made available during the inspection, which allows us to spot possible errors in the documentation right at the initial stage, and thanks to our knowledge of the latest regulations, we provide explanations to the inspection authorities on an ongoing basis,
• we act as an intermediary in ongoing contacts with the Tax Office in the language of the country concerned,
• support in developing a strategy for arguing the correctness of VAT settlements that may have been challenged by the inspection authorities,
• support in completing documentation and drafting explanations.

Tax audit support or audit always takes place after acceptance and payment of the rate, previously estimated by the tax consultant on the basis of information obtained from the Client. Sending an inquiry with a description of the problem and valuation of the advisor’s work is free of charge and does not involve any fees on the part of the client.
