Who has ever had a tax audit from the taxation authority?

Tell us how it went

I've been audited several times. Keept every receipt declared and no issues. In one case I even won a case against the tax office where they didn't clarify their stance on a deductable. I.e. The local tax office shared my view and they lost their stance.

The others were punished?

I have been audited in 2021 the case is still running. Costs so far for lawyers and tax advisor 30K euro - it's an insane battle that is going on. They ignored what the consultance have provided as information and just put it all as personal tax on me. So they claim moneylaundering and tax fraud. I took the consequences and told them to f**k off, packed all my things, deregistered in the country and moved away.

Never been audited and hope to never encounter this situation as it sounds quite stressful even when doing everything properly.

An ex business was audited by HMRC. I can't remember if it was just for VAT, or for everything. The chap looked through some numbers, but mostly drank a lot of tea and chatted over the two days. I think the computer throws up some random businesses to audit, but the auditor probably decides within minutes if he is going to find anything.

I have no doubt that there is a far more stressful type of audit, where they investigate due to suspicion or anonymous tip-off.
