Administrative and Tax Law

Administrative law and tax law are important branches of law that aim to protect the legal regulations that the state imposes on citizens and companies by using public power and to protect the rights of individuals against these regulations. Senkur Law and Attorney Pelşin Senkur, operating in Izmir, provide comprehensive consultancy services to clients in the field of administrative law and tax law. In this article, we will discuss in detail the concepts of administrative and tax law, how these branches of law work and the legal benefits they provide for clients.

 

What is Administrative Law?

Administrative law is a branch of law that supervises the activities carried out by the public administration and the regulations related to them. This field regulates how public power is exercised over citizens, the duties and powers of administrative authorities and the relations of citizens with these authorities. Administrative law provides the legal framework necessary to resolve disputes that may arise during the fulfillment of public services by the state. Senkur Law has extensive experience in administrative law and provides legal guidance to clients in their dealings with the state.

 

1. Administrative Actions and Administrative Jurisdiction

Administrative law regulates the impact of the state on individuals, while at the same time supervising the correct and legal conduct of administrative actions. Administrative acts are actions of the state that have legal consequences, and the administrative judiciary reviews appeals against these acts. Administrative actions can be classified as follows:

 

Regulatory acts: Legal acts such as regulations, by-laws, etc. that regulate public services.

Individual actions: Decisions made by the administration concerning a specific person or institution (such as granting permits or licenses).

The administrative judiciary checks the conformity of administrative acts with the law and, when necessary, ensures that these acts are corrected through annulment lawsuits. Senkur Law offers effective solutions to its clients in all kinds of disputes related to administrative procedures.

 

2. Administrative Control and the Legal Status of Public Officials

Administrative law also determines how public officials and government offices are to be supervised. Lawsuits against abuse of office, neglect of duty or malpractice by public officials fall within the scope of administrative law. The legal obligations of public officials, the powers of various organs of the state, and the relations of citizens with these organs form the basis of administrative law.

 

Senkur Law provides guidance to its clients on legal issues and administrative audits arising from the actions of public officials while on duty.

 

What is Tax Law?

Tax law is the branch of law that regulates the state's power to collect taxes and controls the effects of this power on citizens and institutions. The state collects taxes to finance public services and tax law ensures that this process operates in a fair and orderly manner. The most important feature of tax law is that it determines the fulfillment of tax obligations by citizens and the legal consequences they will face in case of failure to fulfill these obligations.

 

Senkur Law also provides comprehensive tax law services. He provides professional support to his clients in matters such as disputed tax situations, tax return preparation, defense against tax audits.

 

1. Basic Elements of Tax Law

The main elements of tax law are the obligations of taxpayers, tax types and tax audits. Tax law in Turkey is based on a system in which taxpayers are obliged to pay taxes and tax liabilities arise as they earn income or buy and sell goods. Tax law covers the following basic elements:

 

Taxpayer A taxpayer is a person or organization that is liable to pay taxes.

Tax Liability: Taxpayers are obliged to pay taxes on their earnings in a certain period.

Tax Types: There are various types of taxes such as income tax, corporate tax, VAT (value added tax), motor vehicle tax.

Tax Declaration: Taxpayers are obliged to pay taxes by filing a tax return according to their annual income or company earnings.

Tax law determines how these obligations are fulfilled, the rights of taxpayers and the state's audit authority. Senkur Law provides consultancy for all kinds of legal issues related to tax returns and tax obligations.

 

2. Tax Disputes and Judicial Process

Tax disputes arise as a result of disagreements between taxpayers and tax authorities. These disputes usually arise over tax payments, tax rates or miscalculation of tax liability. Tax disputes can take various forms, such as

 

Tax Debt Dispute: If the taxpayer believes that a certain tax debt has been calculated incorrectly and wants to appeal, this leads to a tax dispute. 

Defense Against Tax Audits: Objecting to the results of tax audits and making legal defense against these audits are within the scope of tax law.

Tax disputes can be resolved in tax courts or administrative courts. Senkur Law provides professional consultancy and representation services to its clients in tax disputes and manages this process in the best way possible.
