Your tax letters - How to receive and respond to tax office communication
Facts You Should Know
Once your company is VAT registered, some tax authorities will send correspondence (tax letters) to our postal address. These letters will be uploaded to your Hellotax software account for easy access.
You will receive email notifications whenever a new tax letter is available.
For countries where tax offices send letters directly to your company’s address, we kindly ask you to forward those letters to us for further processing.
