The contributions of the tax advisor in reducing the risks of tax control

Abstract

A study titled " The contributions of the tax advisor in reducing the risks of tax control" highlights the importance of tax consulting in mitigating tax risks that businesses may encounter. The study adopts a case study methodology, focusing on a partnership firm operating in the services sector in M’sila. This company engaged a tax consultant during the appeal period to review its tax status for the period from 2016 to 2018. The consultant conducted a comprehensive examination of the company’s accounting records, including bookkeeping entries and tax declarations, uncovering several potential tax risks.    

Through this audit, the consultant was able to assess the risks and determine the amounts due, including potential penalties, which helped the company rectify errors and avoid possible arbitrariness from tax authorities during the tax audit process. This study demonstrates that seeking the expertise of a tax consultant can provide businesses with an effective defense against tax risks by ensuring compliance with applicable tax laws and enhancing the accuracy of tax declarations.
