Tax controversy

Tax has become increasingly connected — governments are collecting and sharing taxpayer information, and tax changes in one jurisdiction can now trigger changes across the globe. The result is that tax controversy is evolving from two-sided disagreement in specific countries into a multidimensional, multi-country dynamic.

Should disagreements arise, having resources that can act as a “bridge” between the tax authorities and the company is essential.
