Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs
Spanish term or phrase: acta parcial de inicio
This term comes up several times in a document that I am translating, which is a response by a private company's tax attorneys to the tax authorities of Mexico.

It appears that the "acta parcial de inicio" is a legal document presented to a company by a tax inspector, requiring the company to hand over company financial records in order to determine whether tax irregularities have taken place. This document seems to be served on the taxpayer during a visit to its premises by the government revenue agent.

It is "de inicio" because it starts a tax inspection process. It is "parcial" because it is not a definitive accusation or claim against the company, and it leaves the door open to further investigation, I suppose.

I'm quite sure I know what this term means, but does anyone know what it would be called in English?

tax audit notice
Explanation:
"Notice" by definition seems to cover "de inicio" as per you explanation, and I would suggest that it also covers "parcial" for the same reason.

If you have had the unpleasant, even panic-inducing experience of receiving a tax audit notice from the IRS, you probably want to know exactly what lies ahead. A tax audit is simply an accounting practice in which IRS representatives will review your personal or business finances in order to make certain that one or more tax returns were filed accurately. If you are able to conclusively demonstrate that the return at issue was accurate the first time around, the process will end there.

(Mex) acta parcial de inicio
Preliminary tax (AmE) audit > (BrE) inspection > report


Explanation:
Acta de visita: (Mex) tax audit report (Tom West III) cf. plan parcial in ESP: outline and not sub-planning permission.

In the UK, there are no tax 'audits' by the the authorities, but VAT inspection etc.

Otherwise, refer to Lorena's exposition for further enlightenment.

Las actas parciales, son aquellas que se levantan en cada visita que hagan los auditores en el domicilio del contribuyente visitado, desde el inicio de la visita domiciliaria hasta antes de levantar la Última Acta Parcial, para ello, no hay límite en cuánto al número de actas parciales que pudieran levantar los auditores, mismas actas parciales que se pueden identificar en el encabezado que dice:
