Revenue Audit — Legal Rights & Procedure Support

Revenue audit legal rights and procedure support in Ireland helps individuals and businesses through a Revenue audit or compliance intervention. A properly prepared response, and where appropriate a qualifying disclosure under the Code of Practice for Revenue Compliance Interventions, can reduce penalties and avoid publication on the tax defaulters list. A solicitor would review the correspondence and your position, advises on disclosure and guides your engagement with Revenue. Please note: this is a legal service only. It is not tax advice and does not include tax computations, tax returns or Revenue filings, which should be carried out by a registered tax adviser or accountant alongside this legal work.

The price shown is the full professional fee for the service as described, and any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply. If your matter needs more than this service covers, a solicitor would explain the options before any further work is done.
