FAQ
Providing clarity on our processes, dedicated support, and strategic partnership
Can Incite provide support during an audit conducted by another audit firm?
Yes. We perform the role of substantive audit support. We prepare files, calculations and notes, facilitating the work of the external auditor and accelerating the issuance of the opinion.
When should we seek support in the event of a tax inspection?
Immediately upon receipt of the notice of intent to initiate an inspection or the inspection authorisation. Early engagement of an authorised representative allows for documentation preparation and, where applicable, the correction of irregularities before the inspection activities commence.
Do you represent the company during employee or management hearings?
Yes. As authorised representatives, we participate in witness and party hearings, ensuring that procedures are observed and that testimony is recorded accurately and in accordance with the factual position.
What are the most common areas of verification by the National Revenue Administration?
Currently, the key areas include: VAT refund entitlement, transfer pricing, intangible services, withholding tax (WHT) and supply chain verification (due diligence in VAT).
What happens in the event of an unfavourable inspection outcome?
We analyse the factual and legal basis of the decision. Where grounds exist, we prepare an appeal to the higher-instance authority or a complaint to the administrative court (WSA/NSA).
