Our Tax department also advises national companies leaders in their fields and also large multinationals with both daily tax issues and complex matters, such as (i) structuring compensation models applicable to top executives in multinationals, including stock option, LTI, RSU; (ii) debt financing transactions, including debentures, commercial papers, real estate bonds etc.; (iii) structuring tax planning both for the buy side and the sell side, with the purpose of reducing the tax burden on capital gains, considering different procedures of paying (receiving) the acquisition price, and also inbound corporate and family business reorganizations with the scope of a more efficient tax structure and wealth planning advice.
Our practice has also been advising clients on the digital economy, especially with focus on how to address the taxes that are triggered on the remittance of money to foreign developers, the applicable legislation considering the existence of a Double Tax Treaty and, depending on the case, by switching the nature of the payment (royalties; technical services; profits; etc.) with the amendment of the agreements.
