Ernst & Young’s Global Tax Desks program has 25 years of significant investment in building an extensive network. Generally at the partner level, seasoned international tax professionals are assigned to Ernst & Young offices in foreign cities, either major centers of international business, such as New York or London, or other important trading centers. The Global Tax Desks offer clients a tremendous resource — accessible, timely and integrated tax-planning advice on cross-border investments. In major centers we have developed “clusters” or groups of Global Tax Desks, providing our clients worldwide with a forum for information and idea exchange as well as offering international tax reviews for multinationals. Any number of desks may be involved in a single project. Our Global Tax Desks can be contacted at the numbers listed below.
