Taxes often have a considerable impact on the profitability of businesses and investments. The tax rules are complex and continuously changing not only in law (e.g. driven by budgetary constraints or political pressure) but sometimes also in their application (e.g. due to developments in case law).
In this challenging environment, it is vital to have a clear and comprehensive overview of the tax consequences of envisaged transactions and to assess potential risks of existing structures and tax planning schemes. Taxpayers face increased fiscal uncertainty and may end up in complex discussions with tax authorities.
Our tax team offers solutions on both fronts. We guide clients through the jungle of fiscal complexity and assist them in assessing tax opportunities and risks, equipping them to make well-informed decisions. We obtain advance tax rulings, providing legal certainty related to transactions. We also have extensive experience in assisting clients during tax audits and defending their interests before national and international courts. Our offering is unique not only because of the outstanding quality of our attorneys and our tailor-made approach, but also because we are a full-service law firm. Thus, our tax attorneys can draw upon the outstanding expertise of their colleagues from other practice areas to address the most complex tax issues in both advisory and contentious work.
