International taxes

International taxation is approaching a once-in-a-generation moment of change, as proposals for a more coordinated global corporate tax system come closer to reality. Our worldwide presence allows us to provide strategic advice on these long-term issues, as well as help navigate today’s complex tax rulebooks.

Our approach

Companies operating across borders or with a presence in multiple jurisdictions know that complying with local tax laws and reporting requirements is a resource-intensive task. It requires trained professionals with local market knowledge.

Our global network is ideal for serving large multinationals and mid-sized companies with a global mindset that need on-the-ground expertise in multiple jurisdictions. However, we also have substantial experience assisting fast-growing companies that need an efficient tax structure for their first international expansion. The network means we have a clear view not only of global trends but also on-the-ground insights into disruptive single-country initiatives, such as national digital services taxes.

We focus particularly on corporate structures. Whether it’s the effects of Brexit, U.S. tax reform, or changes driven by the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) action plan, the risk of tax nexus is an ongoing and growing concern for companies. We can assist with issues such as international tax transparency. Navigating an ever-changing business environment increasingly requires an integrated, global approach with access to coordinated advice that can support your long-term strategy and business decisions.
