Tax objections and disputed assessments in Syria

What we cover in Syria

Syrian tax review concerns the taxpayer, activity, assessment period and actual notice or payment demand. Announced reforms should be distinguished from enacted obligations; business records and the operative text must be checked before assuming a tax, exemption or challenge deadline applies.

• Tax assessments and business records

  We compare the assessment with the activity, declared figures and supporting records to identify disputed items and prepare an explained legal position.

• Tax registration and authority correspondence

  We review registration records, requests and notices to identify the outstanding requirement and prepare a response supported by the relevant business documents.

• Customs classification and valuation

  We compare declarations, invoices, origin records and customs decisions to identify classification or valuation issues and prepare a supported objection.

• Objections and penalty disputes

  We review the decision, notification date, prior correspondence and evidence to prepare an objection or response under the Syrian procedure applicable to the file.

• Tax clauses in commercial contracts

  We review how the contract allocates taxes, duties, invoicing and additional charges, then draft clear provisions and assess disputes over the agreed payment responsibility.

• Foreign tax exposure on cross-border transactions

  We identify the countries, parties and payments involved, separate Syrian questions from foreign tax advice and coordinate the documents and specialist input needed for the transaction.
