    Supporting taxpayers in tax enforcement and criminal proceedings<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Globalisation, media coverage of tax cases and budgetary pressures have led to increasing criminal enforcement in tax matters. The French tax authorities now have sophisticated investigative powers, including tax investigations, searches and seizures, judicial tax investigations, the French procedure for flagrant tax violations (flagrance fiscale) and interviews. These powers enable them to investigate tax offences and, where appropriate, pursue them with the assistance of the criminal investigation police.<\/p>

    The firm provides clients with early assistance in identifying the tax and criminal risks they face.<\/p>

    The firm also assists clients when the French tax authorities exercise their exceptional procedural powers.<\/p>

    The firm represents clients facing criminal prosecution for tax offences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
