How the tax investigation targets you – with us, you’ll stay safe
The tax investigation department has various means of gaining knowledge about potentially illegal tax violations. Through control notices, company audits, “tax evader CDs,” or tips from third parties, the tax investigation department can be alerted to alleged crimes. In addition, customs authorities can also provide information about possible tax violations to the tax authorities. This knowledge allows the tax investigation department to conduct targeted investigations.
Consultation is essential
During an investigation, the accused may be subject to extensive measures by tax investigators which may even include the search of private or business premises and the confiscation of items and business documents. Handling such situations properly, ideally through the guidance of a tax defense attorney, is of the utmost importance.
Knowing what is at stake
The possible penalties for violations against the tax code are significant. They range from fines to imprisonment, especially in cases of severe tax evasion. Even attempting tax evasion is punishable by law. Therefore, it is important to understand the seriousness of such an accusation and to defend oneself accordingly.

Knowing when you’re treading on thin ice
Tax evasion can arise from active behavior or omission. Once there are signs of tax evasion, the tax authority initiates criminal proceedings. Knowing when you are in danger is the first step in avoiding penalties.
Mistakes happen – it’s all about how you react to them
Even minor errors in a voluntary disclosure can lead to serious consequences. If a voluntary disclosure fails, it is essential to immediately hire an experienced lawyer for defense. A well-thought-out defense strategy can significantly reduce the severity of the sentence.
Do you understand the risk?
For tax evasion, both monetary fines and imprisonment are possible consequences. In particularly severe cases, the punishment can even be up to ten years. However, much also depends on the chosen defense strategy. It is crucial to understand the risks and defend oneself appropriately.
