In the United States, the body of law involving levies that governments place on economic transactions is called tax law.
Taxation covers income and property acquired through personal and professional endeavors, and a wide array of other areas including sales, property, capital gains, estates, inheritance, gifts and retirement accounts to name only a few examples.
Since the first federal statute imposing the legal obligation to pay a federal income tax, which Congress enacted in 1862, the U. S. Tax Code has grown into a behomoth of legendary proportions. State, local and municipal taxes have similarly expanded from property and school taxes to tax levies that apply to sales of food, clothing, equipment, cigarettes, liquor and entertainment. When you encounter tax law controversies or crime, an attorney is vital to protect your rights.
Tax law attorneys provide legal services for individuals and businesses clients in both civil and criminal tax matters arising from Federal, State and local tax claims. Disputes, audits and litigation of Federal, state and municipal taxes commonly arise from the tax code complexities. Criminal allegations result as well, including crimes such as tax evasion and tax fraud, or other criminal violations with related tax components, such as, money laundering, drug trafficking and currency reporting.
From the earliest stages of an audit, through an appeal following an audit, and in any subsequent litigation involving assessments by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), State and local taxing bodies such as cities and counties, or if you have been accused of a tax crime, there is no substitute for a competent tax attorney at your side.
When you must deal with a legal problem concerning a civil or criminal taxation matter, an attorney with expertise in tax law can help you understand and protect your rights, provide legal advice and make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
