Sustainable tax

Sustainability and social justice are becoming increasingly important, including their connection to tax practices. We recognize that the business world is shifting from a shareholder focus to a stakeholder focus. That is why we take into account the interests of all stakeholders, including employees, local communities, policymakers and NGOs, in our tax advice. These groups are increasingly investigating and challenging companies' tax policies, which poses a significant risk of reputational damage.

As a result, stakeholders now expect more tax transparency and tax transparency reporting is becoming more common. To meet these expectations, companies must prepare their systems in time and adapt them to emerging tax obligations, such as energy taxes, the single-use plastic tax and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and consider the tax implications of environmentally-related investments.

Our approach

Our approach to tax advice is comprehensive and includes principles of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We strive to create a transparent tax strategy that aligns with your organization's overall goals. This transparency can help build trust and assurance in your brand among customers, suppliers, investors, current and future employees, and society at large.

To effectively manage these changing requirements, businesses must proactively address both current and future tax liabilities as early as possible. It is crucial not to underestimate the time it takes to implement the necessary processes and software solutions.

What are the benefits?

A transparent tax strategy that aligns with your organization's strategy can bring significant benefits. This transparency helps the company to create trust around its brand among customers, suppliers, investors, (future) employees and society.
