Tax Disputes

When you disagree with the tax authorities, we will defend your position from tribunal to court.

We will represent you before the tax tribunal and the court.

§ 1

Approach

Against the tax authorities, the claim before the tax tribunal and the court case are one defence in two stages, and they are best planned together.

The claim before the tax tribunal

We will prepare the claim with the arguments and evidence the court will also need if the tax tribunal does not find in your favour.

Tax litigation in court

If needed, we will take the matter to court within the same engagement and at the same fixed price.

Including liability passed to directors

We will defend directors whom the tax authorities hold liable for their company's tax debts.

§ 2

Engagement

Company or individual
We will represent you before the tax tribunal and the court.
€3,000 + VAT
Per court schedule

El importe exacto se cierra en la hoja de encargo antes de pagar, con los gastos previsibles incluidos. Si el encargo se alarga, no pagas más.

Aviso de costas

Este encargo incluye actuación ante los tribunales y, en un pleito, existe riesgo de condena en costas: si el juzgado te quita la razón, puede obligarte a pagar los gastos de la otra parte.

Si te la da, las costas son para ti. Como no dependen de nosotros, preferimos no tenerlas en cuenta: nuestro precio cerrado es el mismo tanto si se gana como si se pierde.

Costs warning

This engagement involves proceedings before the courts and, in litigation, there is a risk of an adverse costs order: if the court finds against you, it may order you to pay the other side's costs.

If it finds for you, the costs are yours. Because they do not depend on us, we prefer to leave them out of the equation: our fixed fee is the same whether the case is won or lost.

§ 3

Process

How the engagement unfolds

Initial Consultation

A 60-minute working session by video call in which we analyse your situation, your specific needs and our ability to help you. We assess whether we can take on the matter and give you the fixed price in advance. You can book it directly through the Google Calendar link on our website and pay €90 by Stripe.

Strategy Memorandum

Document produced once the engagement is accepted, setting out the agreed legal strategy for the matter. It specifies the procedural approach, the main arguments, the evidence to be deployed and the objectives of the proceedings. It is the roadmap for the case and the reference point for any subsequent tactical decision.

Tax Tribunal Claim

The claim and submissions before the Spanish tax tribunal against the assessment, penalty or derivative liability decision, with the evidence that will also have to support it in court.

Statement of Claim (demanda)

Drafting and filing of the document initiating proceedings, in which the client's claims are brought, the facts are set out with legal precision and the relief sought is grounded in the applicable law and case law. Signed and filed before the competent court, with the documentary evidence properly ordered and referenced.

Case Monitoring

Ongoing attention to the matter between the main steps: deadline control, procedural or administrative follow-up, response to requests for correction and management of court notifications. The client hears from us each time there is a development in the file, and never has to ask in order to know what is happening.

Trial Hearing (vista)

Preparation for and attendance at the trial hearing: organisation of the evidence, formulation of closing submissions and oral defence of the client's claims before the court. Includes prior analysis of the evidentiary outcome, adjustment of the argumentative strategy and management of the proceedings through to notification of judgment.

Team

Who handles it

Guillermo Passas Varo, founding partner of PASSAS

I see legal practice as a discipline of precision. I work where the law meets technology and cross-border operations, and I read code and contracts with the same attention. Before accepting an engagement I tell you whether it is worth pursuing and what it costs, at a fixed price.

David Sánchez Lorenzo, of counsel at PASSAS

I work where economic law meets technology: litigation, contracts and artificial intelligence systems. I am drawn to the ground where the rules are still being written, and I have brought that same rigour to litigation since my first year in practice.

Questions

What people ask before instructing this service

What matters do you handle?

Tax assessments, tax penalties and derivative liability decisions by the Spanish Tax Agency and the regional tax authorities.

Do I have to go through the tax tribunal first?

In most cases, yes: it is the step before court proceedings. An optional request for reconsideration can be filed beforehand.

Do I have to pay while I appeal?

Suspension can be requested, usually against a guarantee. We will assess it at the outset, because it shapes the strategy.

How much does it cost?

From €3,000 + VAT, with the tax tribunal and first-instance court proceedings included. It fits when at least €15,000 is at stake.
