In a constantly changing tax landscape, our tax team can advise you on tax matters at every stage of your business life cycle.

If you’re starting up, our corporate tax team can help you structure your domestic and cross-border tax issues effectively. As your business grows, we can help you with general and transactional tax advice.

If you are looking to expand your business overseas, we can provide advice on the tax implications of mergers and acquisitions, international tax regimes and global mobility of your stakeholders. Our expert tax team can advise you on exit strategies, including guidance on restructuring or refinancing your business.

How we help

We walk with corporates to navigate risks, pursue opportunities, and optimise their business.

Corporates operate in dynamic business environments usually across multiple geographies which often leads to complex tax challenges across jurisdiction. In such circumstances, corporates require proactive and timely advise on their tax matters to ensure operations are not affected due to tax related matters.

Tax modelling support – to help you understand and improve the tax efficiency and cash flows of your proposed structure
Post-deal services, advising on a variety of tax issues that arise post-transaction, including regulatory, tax strategy and compliance matters and operating model effectiveness

Restructuring and financing

Our team can advise you on your business restructuring transactions, including divestments, group reorganisations, the restructuring of third party and inter-company debt, or the refinancing of existing liabilities.

In particular, we have experience in:

Group structure rationalisation and reorganising operating structures including managing taxes on exit or disposal
Analysing and structuring the tax aspects of new financings and re-financings
Developing appropriate structuring to effect debt push-down
Withholding tax considerations on repatriations

Careful tax planning is critical for businesses in the current global tax climate. We can assist you to build a robust tax strategy as your business expands globally. Our commercially driven approach helps our multinational clients manage their tax affairs effectively, in a manner that aligns with current and future business model developments.

Our experience covers:

Tax forecasting
Tax risk management including tax health checks and consideration of the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting regime
