Tax

Tax rules both at national and international level are becoming increasing complex. The need for expert tax advice has never been greater in commercial corporate transactions. We provide strategic tax advice early on in the transactional process to ensure that efficient tax structures are in place and liabilities are minimised.

Clients regularly seek our advice on M&A tax planning, domestic & international corporate reorganisations, inward and outward corporate expansions, double tax treaty interpretation, real estate taxes, capital tax planning and VAT issues.

As well as corporate tax law, our expertise extends to other business related tax matters i.e. employee share schemes. Most employee benefits issues will tend to revolve around ensuring favourable tax treatment. We have experience of drafting, reviewing and interpreting share schemes rules.

Our objective is to ensure clients are kept up-to-date on new tax legislation, which can be complex and daunting at first glance. We will make this whole process pain free - enabling you to either take advantage of new tax planning opportunities, or simply ensure your tax affairs are compliant with the new regulations.

The tax advice we offer is commercial and takes into consideration your specific business operations and objectives. We work very closely with other departments and offer advice on taxation issues in relation to pensions and employment arrangements.
