Tax Dispute Resolution & Controversy Services

Proactive support to manage and resolve tax disputes

Tax law can be complex and uncertain and with each new development in the tax environment, the context for resolving tax disputes changes. New legislation, pressure on tax receipts, pressure on businesses to add value and manage cash – there is always a risk that revenue authorities have a different opinion as to how the taxation law applies to a tax position. For companies, this could result in a position of conflict that requires strategy and expertise to navigate.

KPMG’s national team of specialists has extensive experience assisting organisations resolve tax disputes, whilst maintaining an effective working relationship with revenue authorities.
