Tax controversy

The tax controversy challenge

Global tax & legal controversy services Global trends (BEPS, ICAP using CbC-Reports, joint audits, etc) accelerate the exchange of information about multinational organizations. Data leaks disclose corporate tax-planning structures (Lux leaks, EU state aid, Malta Files, Paradise Papers, etc). International tax disputes will increase.

Why it matters

As a result, multinational organizations face increasing pressures to manage international tax disputes in both headquarter and foreign jurisdictions.

The teams within multinational organizations are not staffed or calibrated to deal with international tax disputes. They are not aware of pending disputes across their organization. They are not trained to manage disputes across jurisdictions. They are not aware of proactive strategies to prevent costly and
time-consuming disputes.
