Tax review of business activities is a service that involves both an analysis of an entity’s tax compliance status, identification of tax risks and development of the strategies aimed at their mitigation. To perform an engagement, we analyze tax reporting and reconcile it with accounting data and financial statements; we also review source documents on the matter of their compliance with tax legislation and market best practices
