Tax Compliance

A pilot through the complex waters of tax compliance

Our Tax Compliance experts

The ultra-competitive nature of the modern business environment, coupled with an increasingly complex and uncertain tax landscape, are putting stakeholders under increasing pressure to reduce costs, boost efficiency and minimise risks.

As a result of the number of (i) tax disputes, notably in the field of transfer pricing, (ii) cases involving recourse in warranty (appel en garantie), (iii) courts decisions taking some positions that challenge well-established practices, and (iv) recent and complex tax rules arising from the OECD developments with BEPS, tax compliance has gained importance as a key element of reducing financial, business and reputational risks.
