Legal review of tax and customs matters in Jordan, informed by the relevant financial and technical records and specialist input where needed.
Separate the amount from the basis of the claim
A tax or customs issue may first appear as a figure. Assessing it requires the underlying decision or demand, the period or transaction concerned, submitted records and relevant dates. Parts of the matter may need accounting or technical analysis alongside legal review.
We begin by organising these elements into a clear file. A number alone, or an incomplete image of a decision, is not enough to assess liability or an objection. Legal services also do not replace bookkeeping, accounting advice or a financial audit.
Decisions and supporting documents
Depending on the issue, relevant records may include decisions, correspondence, returns, invoices, contracts and transaction or shipment information. Each document should be connected to the amount or step being questioned, with missing information identified.
Jurisdiction, available procedure and deadlines are considered against the records and applicable provisions. The date of receipt and previous action should be disclosed at the outset. A client should not assume that an enquiry or negotiation suspends a running deadline.
Working with other advisers
Where accounting interpretation or technical classification is needed, coordination with the client’s adviser or an appropriate specialist can be discussed. Each adviser’s responsibility should remain clear, and their findings should help explain the points that are agreed or disputed.
A useful submission is not necessarily the longest one. It should connect the facts and supporting records to the specific legal question and address the basis of the demand accurately. Deliverables, such as a memorandum, file review or defined procedural instruction, are agreed before work starts.
Preparing for review
Provide a complete decision or demand with attachments, a chronology of correspondence and details of any financial adviser already involved. Detailed financial files should not be sent through the general website form; an initial summary is sufficient to arrange contact.
Mention an approaching deadline immediately and use direct contact where necessary. After the firm checks its ability to accept the matter, scope, professional fees, expenses and further information requirements can be settled.
