Opportunities for penalty-free correction

Create fiscal clarity and avoid legal consequences

The voluntary disclosure offers taxpayers a legal option to retrospectively correct incomplete or erroneous tax returns and avoid criminal liability. This tool is particularly important to restore fiscal and legal security. However, the voluntary disclosure requires precision and complete information, as even the smallest mistakes can endanger the penalty-free effect.

The lawyers of MTR Legal support you in drafting and submitting a legally secure voluntary disclosure. With our experience in tax law, we review your fiscal situation, gather all relevant data, and ensure that the voluntary disclosure meets the legal requirements. Our goal is to protect your rights, avoid criminal risks, and guide you safely through the entire process.

Requirements for an effective voluntary disclosure

Completeness and precision as the key to penalty elimination

For a voluntary disclosure to achieve its penalty-relieving effect, strict legal conditions must be met. The information must be complete and cover all fiscally relevant facts of the last ten years. Furthermore, the voluntary disclosure must not occur after the tax evasion has already been discovered by the tax authorities or an audit order is in place.

The lawyers at MTR Legal support you in meeting the requirements for an effective voluntary disclosure. We analyze your fiscal situation, identify all relevant documents, and ensure that no details are omitted. With our support, you minimize the risk of losing the penalty-relieving effect of the voluntary disclosure and create a solid basis for legal clarification.

Preparation and submission of voluntary disclosure

Meticulous documentation and legally compliant implementation

Preparing a voluntary disclosure is a complex process where every detail counts. All tax-relevant information must be documented accurately and comprehensibly to avoid subsequent inquiries or doubts by the tax authorities. An incomplete or erroneous voluntary disclosure can not only be ineffective but also worsen the legal situation.

MTR Legal supports you in the preparation and submission of your voluntary disclosure. We gather all tax-related information, verify the accuracy of the data, and draft the disclosure in compliance with legal requirements. Our focus is on ensuring seamless and legally secure documentation to clarify your tax situation and eliminate criminal risks.

Tax and financial implications of the voluntary disclosure

Clarify arrears and interest legally

Even with an effective voluntary disclosure, the payment of evaded taxes along with interest remains mandatory. The exact amount of these payments depends on the type and extent of the incomplete tax information. Additionally, further costs may arise if the disclosure reveals other tax obligations.

The MTR Legal law firm helps you accurately calculate the financial consequences of your voluntary disclosure. We examine the tax claims of the authorities for their legality and strive to ensure that no excessive backpayments are demanded. With our support, you will receive a clear and comprehensible overview of the financial implications of your voluntary disclosure.

Strategies for voluntary disclosures in complex cases

Secure solutions for challenging tax matters

In complex tax situations, such as foreign income, participations in foreign companies, or cross-border asset relations, voluntary disclosure requires exceptional care. Here, not only national tax regulations play a role but also international agreements and laws like the OECD agreement on tax transparency.

Our firm has extensive experience in handling complex voluntary disclosures. We analyze your tax circumstances, even in international contexts, review the legal requirements, and develop a strategy tailored specifically to your situation. Our goal is to submit a legally secure and comprehensive voluntary disclosure that clarifies your tax situation sustainably and minimizes your legal risks.
