default interest
Looking for experts on suspension interest.
Due to a tax investigation in 1996, 2000 new tax assessments were issued against which I filed an appeal and requested the suspension of enforcement. Then, nothing happened for years. It was not until 2009 that negotiations with the tax office began, leading to a settlement in October 2010. Now I have to pay suspension interest for the period from 2000-2009.
Are there any possibilities with realistic chances to challenge these interest payments, as I am not responsible for the long duration of the proceedings?
