How we can help you
Our scope covers the full range of tax consulting services, focusing mainly on corporate income tax and value-added tax, including the development and conception of tax-efficient structures for corporate and financial transactions, the preparation of advance tax agreement requests to the Luxembourg authorities, and tax due diligence.
In an increasingly complex tax environment, we conduct multi-jurisdictional surveys and implement cross-border transactions in collaboration with tax advisors abroad. If tax controversies arise, we can help in audits, administrative appeals and court actions.
Our tax practice group has impressive credentials in major business dealings including mergers and acquisitions, company reorganisation, joint ventures, private equity deals and real estate transactions. Thanks to a thorough understanding of the asset management sector, our tax lawyers and advisors are regularly involved in structuring all types of investment fund, ensuring investors and promoters receive the maximum financial benefit and optimal tax treatment.
We provide tax advice in the areas of insurance, asset finance and leasing, e-commerce and telecommunications, cross-border securitisation, structured finance, derivatives and other financial products. We also assist clients regarding employee benefits and executive compensation.
In keeping with the spirit of the Arendt group, our tax practitioners provide integrated and seamless services in close collaboration with colleagues in other practice areas, especially for complex transactions.
