Tax policy and controversy

Businesses today operate in an environment which is characterised by a complex mix of regulatory, social and economic factors. A clear understanding of these drivers is essential for developing sustainable policies.

Rapid globalization has resulted in increased interconnectivity between businesses and significant shifts in the flow of capital. The tax policies of various jurisdictions are swiftly evolving in response to the global dynamics and the financial uncertainties. The businesses recognize the need to keep pace with the increasing complexities of the changing tax policy landscape.  At the same time, developing a tax policy that resolves impediments to business, needs a team that can work with the government to explain issues, clarify objectives, and achieve a successful outcome for everyone.

Ernst & Young's global tax policy network has extensive experience of helping develop and implement policy initiatives, both as external advisers to governments and companies, and as advisers inside government. Our dedicated teams of tax policy professionals and business modelers help organizations anticipate policy changes and assess their impact. They also engage in dialogue with regulatory bodies and various stakeholders to facilitate a constructive dialogue on issues relevant to businesses and policy makers.

In addition, our global tax controversy network works with you to address your global tax controversy, enforcement and disclosure needs. We focus on pre-filing controversy management to help you properly and consistently file your returns and prepare the relevant back-up documentation. Our controversy professionals leverage the network's collective knowledge of how tax authorities operate, and increasingly work together, to help resolve difficult or sensitive tax disputes.
