Siraj & Elhusseny Law Firm and Legal Consultancy provides legal support in tax matters and procedures that require legal interpretation or representation before the competent authorities, including assessing the legal position, preparing objections, grievances, appeals and submissions, and representing clients in tax disputes, coordinating with financial and tax specialists where needed.

The firm approaches tax files from a legal perspective, focusing on assessing the legal basis of the position or dispute, reviewing the relevant procedures and documents, and determining the appropriate course according to the nature of each case.

A Legal Approach to Tax Matters and Disputes

A tax matter may involve an administrative procedure, a claim, an objection, a grievance or a court dispute. It may also arise within a commercial transaction, a restructuring or another disposition whose tax-related legal effects need to be reviewed.

Our work on a file begins with reviewing the documents, decisions and actions taken, and understanding the nature of the dispute or matter under the mandate, and then assessing the legal position and determining whether it calls for an objection, grievance, appeal or representation before a competent authority.
