As enterprises globalise, they can find themselves facing a complex web of tax rules and regulations in unfamiliar territories. It is increasingly important for them to find ways to align their tax strategies with their overall business needs, while meeting their compliance obligations whenever they arise. Our teams are able to help you structure your business in a tax-efficient manner, both locally and globally.

We advise clients on effective corporate tax planning.

We advise international and local clients on effective corporate tax planning to reduce their tax liability in ways that are effective and practicable. Legal structures, tax concessions, double tax treaties and appropriate agreements are some of the tools we use for the potential benefit of our clients. Our clients include trading, manufacturing, service, banking, insurance and many other businesses.

We have a strong international network with dedicated specialists in almost 110 countries. This means that we can support you both locally and globally, wherever you require tax advice. We take a holistic view, combining industry insight with the technical skills of financial and tax specialists, economists, lawyers and other in-house experts as necessary, to develop comprehensive integrated solutions.

For companies operating in Europe, it is becoming increasingly important to determine an EU tax strategy in order to manage the changes resulting from EU law developments. Our European network of tax and legal experts can offer you the guidance you need to develop opportunities for claiming EU refunds and managing relationships with Inland Revenue Authorities.

Taxes in many countries are closely linked with accounting requirements. Thus accounting errors or the quality and type of documentation can lead to unintentional non-compliance with the tax legislation. The harsh penalty regimes can make small errors expensive. Our compliance review addresses such issues.

Foreign executives and resident staff must file tax returns. We advise our clients on their personal tax planning, and prepare and file required tax returns. Appropriate planning measures and suitable compensation schemes can not only reduce the individual’s tax cost, but also the cost to the employer of having expatriates in these countries.

Through our associated team of lawyers we provide a range of legal services including legal compliance, drafting of agreements, obtaining licences, registration of foreign legal entities and local companies and representation of clients in court on tax related matters.
