Dispute over alleged Real Estate tax debt found in audit. Olaechea is advising IPC on a tax dispute against the Municipality of Callao, regarding a Real Estate Tax debt arising from a tax audit made by the counterparty.
Assessing audit findings and drafting client’s defence: We analysed the findings of the tax audit made by the Municipality of Callao to draft the client’s defence strategy, challenging the debt before the counterparty. Our main argument was the illegal use of the tax audit findings to charge the client retroactively.
Complaint before Tax Court of Appeals: We also assessed the probability of a successful outcome for the client in the case. We found that the chances of success were high before the Tax Court of Appeals. As anticipated, the Municipality maintained its decision, and we filed a complaint before the Tax Court of Appeals.
Tax debts encompassing several fiscal years: This case is important to the client as it concerns tax debts allegedly arising from several fiscal years.
Latest development: The case is pending judgement.
