A TRA audit or assessment can threaten your cash flow and your business. Strict deadlines apply: an objection must be filed within 30 days and usually requires a deposit of the undisputed tax or one-third of the assessed tax. We respond to audit queries, prepare evidence, negotiate with TRA, and manage objections and appeals through the Tax Revenue Appeals Board and Tribunal with experienced legal partners.
