Thanks to this cooperation, when you face a problem relating to tax, social security or company law, you do not need to explain the same file to different people over and over again. A team that knows how the matter is reflected in the accounting records also follows the legal process from the start.
Tax law
- Determining the course of action against tax inspections, tax assessments and tax and penalty notices
- Preparing the financial analyses on which the statement of claim in tax lawsuits is based
- Assessment in proceedings relating to payment orders, seizure and the collection of public receivables
- Examining the liability of legal representatives and shareholders for public debts
- Reviewing contracts from a tax and stamp duty perspective
Company law
- Amendments to the articles of association, capital increases and decreases
- Share transfers, withdrawal from a company and shareholders' agreements
- Preparing general assembly and board of directors resolutions
- Merger, demerger, change of company type and liquidation processes
Social security and employment law
We support employers on the issues they most often face under Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law No. 5510 and Labour Law No. 4857.
- Objections to social security (SGK) inspections, administrative fines and premium debts
- Calculating severance pay, notice pay and other employee receivables
- Preparing employment contracts and workplace regulations
- Carrying out termination processes in line with the legislation
How we work
First we listen to the matter, review the relevant documents and determine whether the problem is financial, legal or both. We then share in writing who will take on which task, what the deadlines are and the possible courses of action. Representation work requiring legal services as an attorney is carried out under a separate agreement with our partner lawyers.
For details on tax disputes, see our tax audits and disputes page, and for staff matters our payroll and social security advisory page.
Who is it for?
- Businesses with a dispute with the tax administration or the social security institution (SGK)
- Companies planning a change in their shareholding structure
- Employers who want to see the legal risks when staff leave
- Directors facing personal liability for public debts
Frequently asked questions
How much time do I have to challenge a tax penalty?
The deadline for filing a lawsuit at the tax court against a tax and penalty notice is 30 days from the notification of the notice. Within this period, administrative routes such as settlement (uzlaşma) may also be considered where the legislation allows; since the route chosen affects the deadlines, we recommend talking to us immediately after notification.
Do you provide the legal advice yourselves?
Our accountants carry out the financial analysis, calculations and assessment of the legislation. Legal services as an attorney, such as legal opinions, petitions and representation in court, are provided by our specialist partner lawyers. Since we run the file together, it is enough to send your questions and documents to us only.
Can an SGK administrative fine be challenged?
Yes. Administrative fines imposed by the social security institution (SGK) can be challenged with the institution within the period set by the legislation, and if the objection is rejected, you can apply to the courts. Because the deadlines are short, an assessment should be made without delay once you receive the notification.
Are the shareholders of a limited company liable for the company's tax debt?
For public receivables that cannot be collected from the company, the shareholders of a limited company may become liable in proportion to their capital shares. The liability of legal representatives is subject to a separate provision. We assess the extent of the liability in your specific situation together with our lawyers.
