Our lawyers who are also tax consultants additionally deal with tax problems in all areas, from tax assessment to tax collection. In principle we do not work in standard tax return practice. For this, we usually refer clients to the network of tax consultants.

We specialise in fraud issues, and together with you and your advisers, where applicable, we look for the fastest and most favourable way out of the problems. It goes without saying that our clients are assured of confidentiality and discretion.

Cassations in tax cases
Cassations in tax cases
We have many years of experience in instituting proceedings at the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, the highest judicial authority in the country.
Cassation proceedings are not an appeal in which the Supreme Court re-does the work of the earlier courts (the courts that decide questions of fact), but are special proceedings with many restrictions. Cassation purely involves examination of whether the court that decided on the facts made significant errors.
The Supreme Court may in principle only overturn a judgement if there has been infringement of the law or an important procedural rule.
