Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

In legal practice, clients generally apply withholding tax deductions; verifying the accuracy of these deductions, their declaration to the tax office, and their offsetting during tax return periods requires separate tracking. Self-employment receipt and collection processes must also be managed regularly.

If the other party fails to declare the withholding tax deduction to the tax office, or declares it incorrectly, problems may arise during offsetting. For this reason, it is important to regularly verify withholding tax declarations to prevent potential loss of rights.

Yes. Issuing e-SMM receipts and tracking their records is part of our service scope; we ensure your receipt processes are carried out in compliance with legislation.
