Why?
Competent tax compliance management in an enterprise, and therefore, safe in terms of risk control and effective in terms of tax burden, requires coordinating many fields, such as financial accounting, investments, business financing, employment, vendor and consumer contracting, and many others. It is not an easy task in a dynamic and variable economic and regulatory environment, even during periods with no routine events, such as mergers, acquisitions or significant investments. Although many entrepreneurs decide to in-source tax-related operations to improve tax compliance security and effectiveness, cooperation with a third-party tax adviser is often a must. This particularly applies to trailblazing, non-standard economic events, but also disputes with tax authorities, problematic contract types or complex transactions that require specialist knowledge and experience.
For whom?
Our tax consulting services are aimed at companies that:
- strive to minimise the tax risk while maintaining a competitive business taxation level,
- desire to ensure tax compliance stability and continuity (in terms of satisfying tax obligations),
- want to professionally and timely approach regulatory environment changes,
- plan non-routine operations, e.g., transactions or investments that require the involvement of specialist knowledge and experience,
- require professional support in relation to pending administrative or judicial taxation proceedings.
