Corporate tax is an integral part of an organization's financial management. The purpose of tax planning as part of an organization's overall business strategy is to avoid tax risks and benefit as much as possible from tax opportunities, within legal boundaries. Professional tax management involves carefully monitoring each corporate transaction and identifying the tax implications from an early stage.

Taxation is vital to a modern society

Shareholders can be unforgiving of a company management failing to conform to legal and ethical interpretations of taxation. Corporations must accordingly make taxation a crucial part of their business strategy, in particular those with international transactions, and this may well demand a degree of specialization beyond their internal resources.
