Tax Litigation

Introduction

The ClassHankyul tax team is comprised of tax experts who are well-versed in both theory and practice, including attorneys with years of tax law experience in courts and law firms, and lawyers and tax accountants with hands-on tax administration experience at the National Tax Service, the Board of Audit and Inspection, and more.

The ClassHankyul tax team has advocated clients’ interests to their satisfaction in tax litigation, regardless of the type of litigation, from numerous tax appeals on inheritance/gift tax involving multiple stakeholders, and taxes on international transactions of complex transactional structures, criminal cases on alleged violations of the Punishment of Tax Offenses Act, to constitutional trials on the unconstitutionality of tax laws. Some members of the team have served as judges for years, and the team has thus been particularly remarkable in tax appeals contested in the high courts or the Supreme Court, where legal principles are intensively discussed.

Furthermore, we have successfully fulfilled client needs by assembling optimal expert teams and deriving the optimal outcomes on a case-by-case basis in relation to different remedies proceedings, such as NTS tax appeals, BAI appeals, and requests for adjudication by the Tax Tribunal.
