EXPERTISE
Tax risks inherent in a company’s operations must be managed on an ongoing basis. When clear errors are identified, we assist in filing amended returns to reduce penalty burdens and to guard against escalation into tax crime investigations. For uncertain tax issues, we help clients seek advance rulings to obtain binding interpretations in advance.
At CENTRIC, our Tax Diagnostic Service is delivered by a dedicated team: veteran tax accountants with decades of direct experience in the National Tax Service’s investigation bureau, CPAs with deep expertise in corporate accounting, and tax attorneys with strong theoretical grounding in tax law.
Together, this team provides the highest standard of tax diagnostic services.

Depending on the nature of the assessment, CENTRIC carefully selects the most appropriate appeal procedure. Even if the case proceeds to tax litigation, we work seamlessly with our partner law firm to provide consistent, end-to-end services. Since each stage—pre-assessment review, objection, Tax Tribunal review, and Tax Court litigation—is handled by different authorities, our strategies are specifically tailored to each process.
To obtain tax rulings that both reflect the legislative intent of tax law and accurately capture the realities of corporate operations, one must combine the highest level of theoretical and practical tax expertise with the ability to effectively communicate with the tax authorities.
CENTRIC is uniquely positioned to deliver such results.
With former high-ranking officials from the National Tax Service and leading experts across all areas of tax law, we develop tailored strategies for each ruling authority—including the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MOEF) and the National Tax Service (NTS).

Unlike domestic tax issues, international tax matters cannot be resolved by understanding only one country’s tax laws.
