About

Provided by CBA

CBA provides comprehensive domestic and international consultancy on income tax, VAT, and other direct and indirect taxes, assisting both corporate and individual clients. We advise on ordinary and extraordinary transactions, covering key tax areas such as direct taxation, transfer pricing, indirect taxes, and VAT.

We also support clients in managing complex Global Mobility issues, including cross-border secondments, international assignments, and remote work from foreign jurisdictions, offering tailored solutions in line with evolving international regulations.

In the context of corporate reorganisations, M&A transactions, and LBOs, we assist in structuring deals with a tax-efficient approach, conducting tax due diligence, analysing critical issues, and drafting tax representations and warranties in transactional documents.

The tax practice works in synergy with colleagues specialised in M&A, banking, capital markets, and real estate to provide seamless tax advice on a wide range of transactions, including loans, IPOs, takeovers, conversions into securities, and other structured finance operations.

We have deep expertise in tax treaty interpretation, the development of transfer pricing policies, and the handling of cross-border matters such as cost-sharing agreements, licensing, dividend flows, royalties, and interest. CBA represents both residents and non-residents in proceedings before the Italian tax authorities and courts, including litigation before the Supreme Court.
