hello Sir,
The tax services and tax planning is it in itself be an advocacy threat ?
thanks,
Tax 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.”
