Tax consulting begins with an initial consultation where the consultant assesses the client’s financial situation, goals, and specific tax concerns. This involves gathering relevant financial documents and previous tax returns to identify opportunities for tax savings and areas of risk.
The consultant then develops a tailored tax strategy, recommending tax-efficient investments, deductions, credits, and other planning techniques to minimize liabilities and ensure compliance with current tax laws.
They assist in the accurate and timely preparation and filing of tax returns, maintaining proper documentation to support tax positions. Additionally, tax consultants provide ongoing support by monitoring changes in tax laws, making necessary adjustments, and representing clients during audits or disputes with tax authorities.
