      After the initial hype – fear, foe or friend?


      Our solutions make the difference for your success  

      Companies today face a multitude of tax challenges. Ever-increasing compliance, transparency, and documentation requirements, legal regulations, and the pressure of increasing digitalization place great demands on corporate tax departments. Added to this is the need to realign processes, internal organization, and (software) systems. As your ongoing tax advisor, we support you in overcoming these challenges without losing sight of your core business.

      In order to achieve strategic corporate goals such as growth, increased profitability, and increased corporate value, restructuring is often essential—for example, mergers and acquisitions or focusing on core competencies by spinning off business units. To fully exploit the value of such restructuring, it is essential to consider the tax consequences from the outset.

      Integrated tax and process consulting: We help companies efficiently meet complex tax requirements and build an efficient tax department. Over 100 specialized consultants offer expertise in process consulting, tax consulting, and IT solutions for companies of all sizes and in all industries. Our consulting services are always based on the latest legislation and are complemented by expertise in labor law.

       

      Bundling of expertise in the areas of technology, transformation, and compliance: The tax function provides essential services within the company and is confronted with a wide range of expectations from internal and external stakeholders. The scope of services typically includes tax issues in the preparation of financial statements, ensuring tax compliance, provision of tax expertise for operational business activities and (strategic) tax planning and structuring.

      An agile and data-driven tax function of the future will accomplish these tasks by specifically increasing digitalization and automation in line with the overall corporate strategy. To this end, the tax function actively contributes tax aspects to the further development of business processes, the data ecosystem, and the IT landscape.

      The goal of the transformation journey is to create a control function that makes optimal use of the special abilities of people and technologies. Our tax experts are happy to accompany you on this journey.

      Transfer pricing has become significantly more important and is increasingly the focus of national and international tax authorities. Globalization, the debate on tax avoidance, and initiatives at the OECD (BEPS) and EU levels are increasing complexity. In addition, transfer pricing compliance requirements (transfer pricing documentation and disclosure obligations) have been significantly tightened—with significant penalties for non-compliance. Managing existing transfer pricing risks throughout the entire “TP lifecycle” is therefore essential in order to reduce the risk of double taxation and possible penalties on transfer pricing assessments.

      We have the necessary experience and resources to develop our clients' transfer pricing systems, implement them operationally, document them regularly, and successfully defend them in tax audits worldwide. To this end, we work with transfer pricing specialists in over 140 different countries in our global GTPS network.

      Internationally active companies require integrated multinational tax planning that goes beyond individual location-based solutions.

      Cross-border personnel deployment is also a key issue for companies seeking to tap into new markets and boost their performance. This requires compliance with complex and increasingly stringent regulations.

      Economically, European countries have never been as closely intertwined as they are today. The effects of globalization and the high complexity of regulations require comprehensive advice on complex sales tax, customs, and excise tax issues.

      With the expertise of our specialists, you can minimize risks associated with sales tax, customs duties, and excise taxes, optimize the structure of goods and services flows, identify potential for optimization, and implement appropriate alternatives for action.

      Financial criminal proceedings not only concern the additional collection of past taxes, but also examine whether the taxpayer has acted with at least gross negligence or intent.

       If there is both a reduction in tax as an objective element of the offense and corresponding fault as a subjective element, either judicial or administrative financial criminal proceedings will be initiated, depending on intent and the amount involved. Our experts will support you in all related matters.
