Today’s businesses must anticipate and manage the impact of taxes and compliance, and our tax experts know that while world leaders are still maneuvering the last beacons of the ‘new digital world tax order’ into place, many more tax and double tax risks will present themselves. Tight management of these risks in the new post-BEPS era will not only prevent ‘double taxation’ but is expected to actually avoid pending ‘triple taxation’. The development and management of a solid tax strategy is an imperative for all responsible global businesses and financing operations. Today’s tax risks vary from income tax, withholding tax, indirect taxation, including VAT and import duty, and all subject to tightening transfer pricing scrutiny and compliance.
