Respond to a proposed French tax adjustment
A response to a proposed French tax adjustment should address each proposed correction, its reasoning and supporting evidence separately. Identify the document received and its date before deciding whether to agree, dispute or request clarification. This stage differs from collection. Check response deadlines and consequences promptly against the notification and with an appropriate tax professional.
