Voluntary disclosure

We advise and represent you if you wish to legalize income you have not correctly declared and assets that have so far remained hidden from the tax office. With a voluntary disclosure that grants immunity from prosecution, we guide you back into tax compliance.

The substantive requirements for a voluntary disclosure in tax law are quite demanding. As a perpetrator or participant in tax evasion, you must correct, supplement, or provide all information to the tax office in such a way that it is possible for the tax office (without extensive investigations) to determine the correct tax. A voluntary disclosure that does not meet these requirements may, in the worst case, entail professional consequences, such as a prohibition on conducting a business.

Voluntary disclosure without legal advice carries significant risks

Due to the complexity of a voluntary disclosure, the lack of any possibility to correct it retrospectively if necessary, and the associated risks, we recommend that you consult an experienced and specialized specialist attorney for tax law.

Only comprehensive tax criminal law advice from an attorney can effectively minimize the risk of an incomplete voluntary disclosure. Ensuring the completeness of the disclosure is a key focus of our advice and representation in this area.

With the help of individual advice, we will work with you to develop a strategy for preparing and submitting a voluntary disclosure. We are also happy to work together with your tax advisor.

In any subsequent criminal investigation proceedings, which can often extend over several months, we will support you with our experience and expertise in this field.
