Strategy: TaxPro proves the error – and reopens the procedure

TaxPro filed a motion for reinstatement – with sound arguments as to why the service was not proper:

• The office was staffed throughout.

• The structural conditions allowed for a personal handover.

• The claimed form of delivery did not correspond to the actual situation.

The Federal Fiscal Court followed this argument. It found a violation of the right to be heard and overturned the Fiscal Court's decision.

TaxPro is the first and so far only law firm in Germany to successfully challenge the delivery of mail from the tax office by means of a certificate of postal service before the Federal Fiscal Court – and to enforce that such deliveries are not automatically considered effective.

Result: Proceedings are reopened – client is given the opportunity to be heard

• The tax court must hear the case again.

• The client has his legal recourse back – despite allegedly “unalterable” service.

• The case is another example of how TaxPro achieves decisive results with detailed knowledge of tax procedural law.

What you should take away from this:

• Even if deadlines appear to have been missed, not every delivery is correct – and not every decision is final.

• Tax assessments, objection deadlines, or deliveries abroad often involve formal risks – TaxPro knows these pitfalls well.

• With the right strategy, even an appeal that is not allowed can still be successful.
