International Tax

In a complex world, you need strategic, integrated global tax solutions

If you’re operating across borders or competing in multiple jurisdictions, complying with local tax laws, reporting requirements and statutory filings—not to mention staying on top of new legislative developments—is more than a full-time job for your tax department.

But compliance is only half of the equation. In a world of intensified global competition, the key to business success is keeping your tax strategy agile and aligned with your corporate strategy—while keeping an eye on your worldwide effective tax rate and ensuring you are only paying your fair share of taxes across all jurisdictions.
