Defense & Litigation

Defense, Litigation & Administrative Matters

A notice of proposed assessment (traslado de cargos) is not a verdict

It's the start of a proceeding with rules, deadlines, and chances to submit evidence — chances that are almost always used poorly, because people respond with their accounting in hand rather than with the law. We step in wherever the case file stands — even if filings have already been made — and rebuild the defense around what the tax authority actually has to prove.

This is for you if…

  • You've received an information request or been notified that a tax audit has begun.
  • You've been assessed a tax difference you don't agree with.
  • You've been fined and the window to challenge it is still open.
  • You lost at the administrative level and want to seriously weigh judicial review.
  • You have a procedure stuck before a public institution and no one will give you an answer.

What's included

  • Handling information requests and support throughout the tax audit.
  • Response to the assessment notice and strategic submission of evidence.
  • Motions for reconsideration and appeals before the Administrative Tax Court.
  • Judicial review before the administrative courts and courtroom representation.
  • Filings before Hacienda, the CCSS, municipalities, and public registries.
  • A scenario assessment before you spend: when to litigate and when it's better to negotiate.
