We review the notification, the audit record and the working papers before choosing the route.

02

Choice of route and filing

Administrative appeal, annulment proceedings or PRODECON complaint, depending on the amount and the timing.

03

Sustaining it through to the ruling

Evidence, arguments and, if the ruling is unfavorable, amparo at the corresponding instance.

Questions

What clients ask first

How long do I have to challenge a tax assessment?

The administrative appeal is filed within thirty business days of notification, and the annulment claim before the Federal Tax Court within the same term. The period runs from when the notification takes effect, not from when you received it.

Administrative appeal or straight to court?

It depends on the defect in the ruling and the evidence available. The appeal allows evidence that was not submitted during the audit; going to court avoids losing time when the defect is substantive. We decide with the file on the table.

Can collection be stopped while the matter is defended?

Yes, by securing the tax interest under the terms of the Federal Tax Code or by requesting a stay in the proceedings. We explain the cost of each option before you decide.
