Source: https://lazeta.hr/en/services ## For businesses ### Tax Audits and Tax Disputes URL: https://lazeta.hr/en/services/porezni-nadzor A tax audit calls for timely preparation and precise conduct of the proceedings — omissions in documentation and statements are difficult to remedy at later stages. If proceedings continue after the assessment, the outcome depends on the quality of argumentation and command of procedural rules and case law. The service covers every stage of the proceedings: preparation of the business and its documentation ahead of the audit, representation before the Tax Administration as authorised representative, objections to the audit report, appeals against tax assessments, and representation in administrative disputes and extraordinary legal remedies where the statutory conditions are met. **What the service covers:** - Preparation of the business and its documentation ahead of an audit - Representation during the audit as authorised representative - Statements on inspectors' requests and findings, and objections to the audit report - Appeals against tax assessments and enforcement decisions - Drafting of claims and participation in tax-related administrative matters before the administrative courts - Extraordinary legal remedies — reopening of proceedings, restoration to the previous state - Analysis of the statute of limitations on tax debt ### Tax Advisory and Opinions URL: https://lazeta.hr/en/services/porezno-savjetovanje Ongoing cooperation means an adviser who knows the client's business and is involved before decisions with tax implications are made — not after the liability has already arisen. Cooperation is agreed as a monthly retainer or on individual matters. For more complex issues, written expert opinions are prepared, grounded in legislation, case law and the published positions of the Tax Administration. **What the service covers:** - Ongoing tax support under a monthly retainer - Written expert opinions on tax matters - Tax implications of business decisions and transactions - Monitoring of regulatory changes relevant to the client's business - Support to the client's accountants on entries with tax effects ### VAT Advisory URL: https://lazeta.hr/en/services/pdv-savjetovanje Cross-border transactions, the reverse charge mechanism and the right to deduct input VAT are areas where incorrect treatment accumulates across multiple tax periods.

The review concludes with a report setting out the identified risks, their quantification and recommendations for remediation, including corrections of returns. The same methodology applies to tax due diligence in the purchase or acquisition of a company. **What the service covers:** - Review of tax positions across tax types — VAT, corporate income tax, personal income tax, social security contributions - Identification and quantification of tax risks - Recommendations for remediation and corrective returns - Tax due diligence in the purchase, sale or acquisition of a company - Preparing the company for an expected tax audit ### Financial Forensics URL: https://lazeta.hr/en/services/financijska-forenzika Financial forensics combines accounting, tax and investigative expertise in the analysis of business events — from identifying irregularities in financial statements to reconstructing cash flows.
