Civil Tax Litigation

Civil tax litigation refers to legal disputes between taxpayers and tax authorities, typically related to tax assessments, compliance issues, or disputes over tax liabilities. When a taxpayer disagrees with a tax agency's decision, such as audits or penalties, they may challenge it in court. This process involves presenting evidence and arguments to resolve the issue, which can include seeking refunds or disputing claims. Unlike criminal tax cases, civil tax litigation focuses on resolving financial disagreements rather than allegations of criminal behavior. It helps ensure that both taxpayers' rights and tax laws are upheld.
