International Corporate Tax

A sound business strategy needs to include tax planning.

When devising tax plans and strategies for Swiss and international companies, an in-depth knowledge of how each business operates is an essential starting point.

Working closely with the management team, the advisors from KPMG analyze the company’s overall tax situation and lay the foundations for long-term tax management. A multidisciplinary approach and an ongoing knowledge transfer ensure that your business can operate in compliance with tax law in any scenario, respond flexibly to any changes and take advantage of any tax privileges. Targeted support on the questions that arise every day is a key prerequisite for optimizing a company’s tax situation.

KPMG’s tax advisors are familiar with Swiss and international tax law and always keep abreast of the latest research. With 13,000 tax advisors based in 106 countries, KPMG is one of the few partners that can share its expert knowledge anywhere in the world. Advisors work in teams assembled to suit clients’ needs. They have a clear understanding of tax legislation and many different areas of a business.
