Support and, where permitted, representation during an enquiry, review or audit by a tax authority.
About the service
When a tax authority opens an enquiry, review or audit, the work involves understanding what has been asked, assembling the supporting records, and responding within the authority's process and deadlines.
Who may speak to a tax authority on your behalf is controlled by that authority. In some jurisdictions representation requires a specific authorization or a filed appointment; in others the rules are different again.
Professionals who list this service describe the jurisdictions they handle this work for. Confirm both the authorization and the scope before an engagement begins.

FAQs
General information about this category of work. Nothing here is advice about your own tax position.
No. Representation rights are set by the authority concerned and not every professional holds them. Ask explicitly, for the specific authority involved, before engaging anyone.
The category covers enquiry and audit support generally, not one country's authority. Each professional states the tax jurisdictions they act for, and the directory's jurisdiction filter shows those.
That is a decision about your own situation, and this page cannot answer it. Deadlines in these processes are usually firm, so involving an authorized professional promptly is generally the practical constraint.
