Getting advice before the problem occurs
If there is a suspicion of tax fraud, you can face criminal prosecution. The Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service (in Dutch: FIOD) is called in. You may get a fine, a penalty order issued by a public prosecutor or – in a worst-case scenario – a prison sentence. Even if you only get a penalty order issued by a public prosecutor, this results in a record in your judicial documentation (‘a criminal record’).
Expert assistance
In the case of a FIOD investigation, it is very important that you engage a criminal tax lawyer immediately. If you do not do so, the consequences can be disastrous. With our assistance, you will reduce the risks and increase the chance of a good outcome.
