TAX ADVISOR FOR APPEAL PROCEEDINGS FOR GRANTS AND SUBSIDIES
Legal remedies against rejections and repayment claims for grants, support funds and subsidies
Unlike the legal remedies and appeal instances available in tax law and administrative law, generally no statutory legal remedy and appeal system is provided in the area of COVID-related subsidies and grants – whether granted by COFAG or AWS.
As a business law firm, we leverage the synergies of our ongoing cooperation with the lawyers in our firm. Only through cooperation between attorney and tax adviser can legal submissions and discussions with higher-level federal ministries be pursued in a promising manner. The detailed analysis of denied, rejected or reclaimed subsidies and grants by our tax advisers forms the basis for targeted legal action against the funding authority by the lawyers. Arbitrary rejections or repayment demands for instruments such as loss bonuses, fixed cost grants, compensation for losses or NPO support funds can be reviewed and, where appropriate, lawful remedies not expressly mentioned in the guidelines can be pursued. 2. and 3. Quarter 2020, 4. Quarter 2020, 1. and 2. quarter of 2021 and the 4. quarter of 2021 can thus be reviewed in a targeted manner, and possible legal remedies not mentioned in the funding guidelines can be pursued.
