How can one explain tax laws to another government without looking bad?
<p>This question is tied to <a href="https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/84288/is-it-illegal-to-be-in-a-position-to-use-varlik-barisi">Is it illegal to be in a position to use &quot;varlik barisi&quot;?</a></p>

<p>I don't want them (the 3rd government agency) to think anything negative about me. Even though they accept that I'm not doing anything illegal, they might think poorly of me because I'm benefiting from tax amnesty laws (?). So they might decide that they don't want me in their country.</p>
<p>So how can I explain these tax laws to another government without looking bad? Any suggestions? Is it possible? I'd really appreciate your help</p>

<p>There are two options that make sense:</p>
<ol>
<li><p><strong>Don't explain anything.</strong> The laws in question are well established and you are probably not such a genius that you are the first to figure them out. The government in question has almost certainly already encountered your situation before, so it has already researched, understood, and taken a position on the law in question. You have nothing to explain except that you complied with the laws of your country.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Hire a lawyer.</strong> If you are, in fact, doing something novel that the other government has not encountered before, you should hire a lawyer to (a) make sure your interpretation of your home country's tax laws are correct; and (b) make that case in a way that the other country will understand, appreciate, and accept.</p>
</li>
</ol>
