Who has ever had a tax audit from the taxation authority?

Were they raiding company offices only or residential property as well?

Every address registered or related to the companies, which included two residential properties (total 4 were raided but one we weren't present anymore) .
The police was present with a search warrant for residential property, for raid of company offices tax authorities don't need a search warrant, you can refuse entry and then pay a fine if they don't have a search warrant.

They re q group tax auditors, interrogators and IT forensics, mostly a team of 6-10 people, making sure nobody can hide/delete things.

Make sure in such situations you have a a good tax lawyer as contact, without that we would have been crushed in weeks as they came back several times after the surprise raid as well.

When they raid, they target all known properties, commercial and residential, at the same time.

Correct.. They gather multiple teams and raid at the same time at each location

If you work with tax haven companies like UAE, BVI, Cayman or high risk industries crypto, gambling or similar, you cannot reside in high tax countries.
Only way is to emigrate to low / 0% tax countries to avoid serious problems with tax authorities and financial police
