The tax team at FBPH in Ecuador make it their aim to protect their clients’ investments “at all levels and in every way”. This is approached from two different angles in this video – how to use double taxation treaties and investment contracts to avoid paying too much tax on investments, and how to use administrative procedures, supplementary tax audits, dispute resolution and other legal tools to challenge the tax administration when necessary. Tax mediation is also discussed as an alternative to the formal challenge process before the courts.
