Dear lawyer specializing in commercial law,
I am reaching out to you because I have some concerns regarding tax law and would like to avoid any possible legal issues. My name is Katrin Strauss and I run a small business that has been steadily growing in recent years. However, with this growth, I have noticed that I am increasingly dealing with tax-related questions and problems that were previously unfamiliar to me.
I have been preparing and submitting my tax returns myself so far, but I am afraid that I may have made mistakes in the process. Additionally, I have heard that tax law is very complex and constantly changing, which further adds to my uncertainty. I want to avoid my business getting into legal trouble or having to pay high fines because I did not comply with tax regulations correctly.
Therefore, I would like to know from you how I can protect myself from legal issues in the field of tax law. Are there specific measures I should take to properly manage my tax affairs and minimize potential risks? Should I consult a tax advisor or a lawyer to receive professional advice?
I would greatly appreciate your help and expertise on this matter and hope that you can provide me with some tips and recommendations to handle my tax affairs more securely in the future.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Katrin Strauss
