SUNAT Audit Assistance

For companies that have just received SUNAT's opening letter and first request, that are in the middle of a partial or full audit, or that already have preliminary findings.

Who it is for and what problem

Audits are often handed off as paperwork. Each department answers on its own, information is delivered without weighing its implications, and senior advice arrives once the finding is already settled. The defence starts late and with an incomplete file.

What it is

Strategic support during SUNAT audits: a single direction of the case from the first request. We do not answer isolated requests. We run the case: timeline, the auditor's hypothesis, evidence, economic exposure, response strategy and documented decisions. The promise is not to prevent every assessment; it is that the company never reaches one for lack of strategy, evidence or timely action.

What it includes

  • Audit Intake.* What SUNAT has opened, with what scope, and what must be controlled from today.
  • Audit Risk Mapping.* What SUNAT may be looking for and where the weak points are.
  • Response Control.* What to answer, prove and deliver at each step, without contradictions.
  • Technical meetings and escalation.* Explaining material issues through institutional channels when it helps the case.
  • Pre-Determination Defense.* A Defense File for the findings that can still be clarified, corrected or contested before the Assessment Resolution.
  • Controversy Readiness.* If SUNAT upholds the finding, the file and the strategy are ready for the appeal.

How we work

  • From the start of the procedure, with senior involvement. The partners' experience in the tax administration is used as method and judgement: how an audit hypothesis is built, which facts the auditor needs to verify and which evidence can be decisive.
  • We do not sell contacts. We offer institutional experience, technical judgement and the ability to lead a case.
  • Three advantages.* A 360° view: we understand both the taxpayer's position and the auditor's logic. Efficiency: defensible findings are resolved before the assessment. Continuity: if a dispute is unavoidable, the company arrives with a file and a strategy that are ready, not improvised.
  • With Tax Control.* An audit is the acid test of the preventive strategy: Tax Control identifies risks and prepares the evidence before SUNAT arrives, and Audit Assistance activates that base during the audit.
  • A case.* An agricultural exporter in Ucayali was denied its exporter's credit refund on the grounds that its purchases were not genuine. The supply chain was rebuilt up to the export declarations, formal channels were used —including the Taxpayer Ombudsman— and, once the file was reviewed in Lima, every adjustment was lifted and the 5 million dollars of the credit were refunded.
