Know the exposure before you correct past German returns.
Missing transfers, EC sales lists never filed, a valuation the office would not accept: you know the past returns are wrong and you want the number before anyone files a correction, whoever files it. We put the surcharge and interest exposure in writing and say how and in what order to submit.
From a guess to a number in writing.
Wrong returns, and no idea what fixing them costs
Transfers, EC sales lists, a valuation: you know something is off and a correction filed blind can trigger a surcharge the office would have left alone.
The exposure in writing and an order of play
Surcharge and interest per period under § 152 and § 233a AO, which corrections change the picture, and in what order to submit them.
Three things, and we can start.
Asked about estimates before correcting
Because the order matters. A correction that triggers a surcharge on a period the office would otherwise have left alone is a real cost, and a correction filed before an estimate of the exposure is a decision taken blind. The estimate lets you decide with the number in front of you, and it is yours whoever files the corrections afterwards.
No. It is a written document you can hand to your own accountant. Where we do file the corrections, they are priced per corrected return on a separate quote.
No. It is our reading of § 152 and § 233a AO applied to your figures. The surcharge on a late return is at the office’s discretion and the office can decide differently; the estimate tells you the range and what drives it.
