In order not to get <strong>unloved mail f<\/strong>rom the tax office at some point, not only <strong>entrepreneurs and companies trust <\/strong>, but also increasingly <strong>private persons<\/strong> to the <strong>support<\/strong>of a <strong>expert tax consultant<\/strong> or even a <strong>tax office<\/strong>. Dabei ist das Ziel der Mandanten stets das Gleiche. The <strong>tax adviser<\/strong> should <strong>take care<\/strong> of this within the scope of his activity care, to observe all <strong>legal deadlines<\/strong> and <strong>duties<\/strong> of the <strong>clients<\/strong> and at the same time to inform and advise <strong>comprehensively<\/strong>about <strong>potential savings<\/strong> and <strong>tax advantages<\/strong>.

But even the <strong>best tax office<\/strong> is not immune to making mistakes in the daily <strong>practice. mistakes<\/strong><strong>, <strong>wrong advice<\/strong> or even <strong>unethical business practices<\/strong> repeatedly lead to <strong>significant disadvantages<\/strong> and <strong>consequences<\/strong> for the clients.<\/strong> However, tax advisors are also liable for their <strong>action<\/strong> or <strong>&#8220;non-action&#8221;<\/strong> and must pay for any damages incurred within the scope of tax advisor liability.<\/p>\n<p>Our law firm <em>Dr. Fiala from Munich<\/em> advises and supports <strong>tax consultants and clients<\/strong> equally and assists in the <strong>clarification of liability cases<\/strong>.
