Our scope of work
Hanoutax acts as a mandated agent, on the basis of a written mandate. We are not a fiscal representative or a customs representative, and we do not handle authorised warehousekeeper status, your bookkeeping or legal advice. When a need falls outside this scope, we help you find the right professional (tax lawyer, chartered accountant, accredited representative).
