How Howard is building a better working world
Howard is committed to taking a tax approach that prevents controversy in the first place by tracking and ensuring compliance with the myriad (and ever-changing) tax laws in all countries of operation. However, it is inevitable that some disputes will arise, so having processes in place to contain and efficiently resolve them is critical. In this new tax risk environment, being proactive is the best defense for businesses that seek to limit uncertainty and minimize the potential for significant controversy.
