Tax inspection: what to do when the request arrives
Receiving a Tax Agency request is not a penalty, but it demands a technical, on-time response. A practical action guide.

Stay calm and check the deadline
An information request or the start of an audit does not prejudge the outcome. First identify what the Tax Agency asks for and by when: deadlines are strict, and missing them worsens any file.
Gather your documents
Locate invoices, contracts, statements, and returns for the affected period. Complete, organised documentation is the best defence: most adjustments come from papers not submitted on time.
Reply with technical judgement
Each request admits a different strategy: submit, clarify, or appeal. At Abogado Fiscal we prepare the response, represent you during the inspection, and if an assessment you disagree with arrives, we challenge it before the TEA and the courts.
