Tax audit / tax litigation
Defend your rights in the event of an audit.
We assist businesses and individuals with all tax disputes, starting from the initial request from the tax authorities.
COMMON CHALLENGES

- Responding incorrectly to a request from the tax authorities can worsen your situation: every argument must be carefully weighed to avoid it being used against you, for instance in relation to another tax.
- You miss critical deadlines that work against you: for example, tacit acceptance of reassessments if you fail to respond within the required timeframe…
- You end up paying more taxes and penalties due to a lack of proper defense.

question ?
When should I consult a tax lawyer?
As soon as you receive a letter from the tax authorities: the earlier we step in, the more time we have to prepare your defense and maximize all possible remedies.
Can you step in even if the audit has already started?
Yes, we can assist you at any stage of the procedure, including if you have already received a reassessment proposal or if your case is already before a court. We can also take over your file to appeal a decision issued at first instance.
Do you also assist individuals?
Yes, we assist both individuals and businesses.
How are your fees calculated?
We offer an initial consultation, followed by a clear and transparent quote tailored to your situation for the entire tax procedure.
Client Testimonials
“We turned to Caroline Zimbris from The Line Avocats and cannot recommend her highly enough! We achieved a very positive outcome thanks to her work, ethics, and perseverance over a four-year period. She excels at maintaining open communication and has a deep understanding of justice.”
“As the manager of an EURL, my company received a tax reassessment on corporate tax and VAT for 2016, 2017, and 2018. Initially defended by Fidal, we lost in the first instance. Convinced I was in the right, I turned to THE LINE law firm in Bordeaux, and Caroline Zimbris was very confident about a favorable outcome. Following the hearing at the Bordeaux Administrative Court on May 15, 2025, the situation was indeed overturned, and the company received the amount paid plus interest on Monday, June 30, 2025. Thank you, Maître Caroline Zimbris!”
