Top quality tax advice is a key consideration in any jurisdiction. But in Norway, the complexity of our tax system, the serious consequences that can attend violations, and the special tax regimes governing certain key economic sectors, make it particularly important to obtain the best possible advice.
BAHR has invested in building a large professional tax, VAT and accountancy group full of skilled lawyers with extensive experience, often gained at the country’s tax and VAT authorities. We offer clients a broad range of tax advice in connection with restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, financings and other transactions.
Particularly notable for hosting one of the greatest concentrations of transfer pricing expertise in Norway, we also remain a first port of call for advice on the special tax regimes applicable to the shipping, petroleum and the hydroelectric power industries, in line with our strength in these sectors, while our premier positions in real estate and private equity also make us a first choice for advice on the tax issues affecting these sectors.
Complementing our transactional tax work, BAHR also offers a large contentious practice, acting for clients in complaints and appeals before the tax and VAT authorities and litigation before the courts. Strong contacts with the tax authorities, academic thought leaders and key industry figures help us to continue providing advice that combines the highest technical quality with creativity and pragmatism.
