In the complex world of taxes, you have to be able to rely on experts. If a tax advisor breaches contractual obligations and causes damage as a result, the question of professional liability arises. Our tax advisor liability experts know the typical pitfalls and use their years of experience for you, both in and out of court – efficiently and discreetly.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Breach of professional duties<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n\t\n\n

The duties of a tax advisor when handling a client arise from the Tax Advisors Act and the individual contract with the client. Irrespective of the specific subject matter and scope of the work, tax advisors are also legally obliged to act on their own responsibility, to carry out assignments conscientiously and to undergo further training. If such a duty is negligently or intentionally breached, the tax advisor is liable. The standard applied by the courts is very strict.<\/p>\n

Typical cases of tax consultant liability are<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. False or misleading tax advice.<\/li>\n
  2. Failure to submit tax returns.<\/li>\n
  3. Errors in the calculation of taxes.<\/li>\n
  4. Failure to comply with legal changes.<\/li>\n
  5. Failures in bookkeeping or documentation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Professional liability insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n
    \n\t\n\n

    Tax consultants are obliged to take out professional liability insurance with a minimum sum insured of \u20ac 250,000 per case and \u20ac 1 million per year. If the damage is higher or involves further cases, the tax consultancy firm or the tax consultant is liable with their own assets.<\/p>\n

    In order not to risk the insurance cover, tax consultants usually coordinate every step with their insurance company in the event of liability. Often, the tax consultant’s lawyer is also recommended or mandated by the insurance company. This makes it difficult to negotiate out-of-court solutions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
