What impact will the confidentiality of consultations with in-house counsel have on tax departments?

Are you a member of a tax department and wondering how the passage of the law on the confidentiality of consultations with in-house counsel will affect your relationship withadministration ?

The answer is simple: nothing

In more legal terms, the future paragraph 2 of Section II of Article 58-1 of the Act of December 31, 1971, provides that "confidentiality cannot be invoked in criminal or tax proceedings."

The impact will therefore be limited solely to situations where the consultation could be used in disputes that do not involve tax or criminal matters.

If this does not apply to you, you can go back to your work; however, if you ever need to discuss a tax audit or tax dispute, please feel free to contact us.
