BUSINESS PRACTICE AREAS
Tax
Securing your tax treatment, structuring your transactions and defending you in tax audits.
Our approach
Tax comes into play in every major decision: incorporation, distributions, disposals, restructuring, setting up abroad. Tax treatment must be prepared before the transaction, because it becomes very hard to correct once the documents are signed.
We advise businesses and their directors on applying the General Tax Code, structure their transactions and assist them before the tax authorities, from audit through to litigation.
What we do
- Tax structuring of transactions and restructurings
- Corporate income tax, VAT and registration duties
- Taxation of directors, distributions and disposals
- International tax and double taxation treaties
- Assistance during tax audits and inspection procedures
- Tax litigation, claims and appeals
Frequently asked questions
We have received a tax audit notice: how should we respond?
By preparing for the audit rather than enduring it. We review sensitive areas in advance, organise the production of documents, assist you during the audit and manage written exchanges with the inspector.
Can a tax reassessment be challenged?
Yes, through the remedies provided by the General Tax Code, within strict deadlines. We assess how solid each adjustment is and choose between negotiation and litigation depending on the amounts and arguments available.
How can the tax on a sale be optimised?
By planning ahead. The tax treatment of a sale depends largely on the structure chosen and the timing, both of which must be settled well before the agreement is signed.
