Question
I approached a tax advisor to advise me on how to properly declare business profits, and he gave me incorrect advice that caused me to pay double payments to the authorities. Is he liable to pay for the damage?
Answer
Shalom Rav
A tax advisor who caused a loss to a client through incorrect advice is liable in human courts to compensate for the loss.
