Identification of risks related to new regulatory requirements

Legislative changes in Ukraine and abroad can create various risks for businesses, including that of challenging applicability of tax benefits provided for by double taxation treaties. Our team will help to identify such risks and mitigate or eliminate them.

Tax authorities across the globe are increasing their efforts in combating abuse of preferential tax treatment for international transactions. Requirements for countering such abuse are implemented both nationally and internationally, which reduces the efficiency and applicability of traditional mechanisms of and approaches to tax planning.

In light of changes in legislation and practices, it is crucial to timely identify and mitigate tax risks that may affect businesses, including that of challenging applicability of the tax benefits provided for by double taxation treaties, etc.
