Deloitte Tax Controversy
Current trends suggest that multinational organisations and individuals will continue to spend more time and resources managing tax controversies in both their local and foreign markets. Tax authorities are sharing information about companies and focusing increasingly not just on the technical merit of a tax position but also on implementation. Deloitte's tax dispute resolution teams include former tax authority officials, alternative dispute resolution specialists, and in many countries, tax litigation specialists who can assist multinational businesses at all phases of the tax dispute resolution cycle.
Deloitte’s tax controversy team supports a full spectrum of clients ranging from multinational corporations to individuals on a range of contentious tax matters.
The team brings together leading practitioners from Deloitte’s tax advisory, legal and risk advisory teams.
With a team that is made up of tax specialists, accountants, solicitors, economists, former HMRC inspectors, data analysts and information technology experts, we achieve successful outcomes through risk management consulting, negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, and litigation.
