Tax services
hello Sir,
The tax services and tax planning is it in itself be an advocacy threat ?
thanks,
3y ago#2Tax advisory and tax planning services comprise a broad range of services, such as advising the audit client how to structure its affairs in a tax efficient manner or advising on the application of a tax law or regulation.
For most non-assurance services to an audit client, "Using professionals who are not audit team members to perform the service might address ... threats"
But be aware that for PIEs there may be prohibitions because that is not sufficient to reduce the threat to independence that may be perceived. For example:
"A firm shall not provide tax advisory and tax planning services to an audit client that is a public interest entity if the provision of such services might create a self-review threat."
