International Tax & Fiscal Advisory
Navigating the Global Tax Landscape with Confidence.
With over 40 years of experience advising multinationals and governments, we provide the strategic foresight to optimise your fiscal structure in a complex and evolving world.
The Challenge: A World of Constant Fiscal Change
The global tax environment is in a state of perpetual motion. Initiatives like the OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project, the rise of digital services taxes, and increased scrutiny on transfer pricing have created a landscape of unprecedented complexity for multinational organisations. Navigating this world requires more than just compliance; it demands a robust, defensible, and forward-looking tax strategy that aligns with your commercial goals while mitigating risk. For governments, the challenge is equally acute: how to design fair and effective tax policy that attracts investment while protecting the domestic revenue base.
Our Approach: A 360-Degree Perspective
Our perspective on international tax is unique because we have seen it from every possible angle. Our experts have spent decades in senior roles at the world's leading advisory firms, including PwC and Deloitte, designing and implementing sophisticated tax strategies for multinational clients. We have sat inside major financial institutions like ING, developing and maintaining tax-driven cross-border financing structures from the client's side. Importantly, our experience extends deep into the worlds of policy and adjudication. As a Principal Research Associate for the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD)—the world's foremost authority on cross-border taxation—we have been responsible for government consultancy and for training senior tax officials around the globe. This comprehensive, 360-degree view allows us to provide advice that is not only technically excellent but also commercially pragmatic and strategically sound.
