Where people get stuck
Counting calendar days instead of business days
We calculate every deadline in business days and confirm it with you.
Paying while disputing
A request to suspend payment can be made with the dispute. We include it where it fits.
Using the Tax Ombud for the wrong thing
The Ombud handles service complaints, not the merits of a dispute. We use the right route.
