Case Studies

Case 1 – Income Tax

These clients came to us because errors made by their previous accountants had resulted in a large tax bill which according to our calculations should have been just a few hundred euros. We proceeded to submit a substitute tax return even though it was out of date and provided the necessary proof and letter of appeal explaining the reasons for the substitute return. We now submit their tax return after letting them know exactly what the correct tax should be, and monitor the situation for them when they are abroad to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

“Thank you for sorting out our tax problem. If we had used you from the start it would have saved us a great deal of trouble and expense. It is a pleasure dealing with you.”
… Philip Francomb.

Case 2 – Property Tax

The client was paying a substantial amount in property taxes. After reviewing the assessment for the property valuation we determined that the rate used for the location of the property was incorrect by a large factor, no account had been taken of the depreciation of the property, the construction costs used were incorrect and the assessable area of the property was incorrectly calculated. We proceeded to request a property revaluation and a new assessment to ensure accordance with the law. The result is that the client is saving several hundred euros in ongoing future property taxes.
