PARTNER-LED TAX ADVISORY
When the amounts are material, the tax advice must be too.
We advise mid-sized and private companies and business owners on VAT and Real Estate Transaction Tax, under the direct supervision of the partners, from structuring a transaction to the resolution of a dispute.

Partner supervision
A partner leads each engagement from start to finish.
Confidentiality
Every engagement is handled in strict confidence. We do not disclose our clients or their matters.
Before the committees
We attend hearings alongside the taxpayer or their authorised representative before the dispute committees.
OUR PRACTICE
We work where the tax decision is made.
The tax return is the last step. The tax decision is made much earlier: when the contract is drafted, the deal is priced, the property is transferred and the structure of the business is chosen.
