What EY can do for you

The surge of tax risks — complex rules, regulations, interagency cooperation and communication — is placing a heavy burden on companies around the world.

The stakes are high — the precision of today’s targeted enforcement and the sheer volume of issues and authorities involved amplify the pressure on tax functions to have the right resources to keep up with requests and the right technology to supply the answers. The speed with which tax policy changes and digital tax methods are being proposed and adopted only adds to the equation.

By leveraging the power of our global network, innovative technology and insights, we can help you address tax risk, better manage tax controversy and resolve tax disputes — wherever you do business.
