Our global network of international tax professionals work to promote local approaches that tie in with and contribute to the client’s improved overall tax position. Our market-leading global tax desk network — which consists of co-located teams of highly experienced professionals from multiple jurisdictions in several locations around the world — plays an important role in bringing together tax know-how from various jurisdictions for the benefit of the client.

Tax Advisory on Business Models and Supply Chains

The Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative led by the OECD, along with certain tariff policies implemented by major global economies, is significantly affecting the supply chains of multinational enterprises. Our team features extensive tax knowledge and practical experience to assist clients in improving the efficiency of their business operations. This includes improving procurement and sales processes, managing intangible assets, evaluating permanent establishment risks, and developing strategies to address tax risks.

In addition, we collaborate with EY global network to support multinational enterprises in assessing whether adjustments to their business models and supply chains are necessary in light of BEPS 2.0 Pillar Two and tariff developments, and to assist them in meeting related tax compliance and reporting obligations.

Tax Advisory on Corporate Structure and Application of Tax Treaties

As tax authorities and enterprises increasingly prioritize operational efficiency, the suitability of legal entities and the planning of corporate structures have become more important. Our professional team assists clients in improving the overall effective tax rate of their corporate structures while meeting operational needs and complying with regulatory requirements for reorganizations.

We take into account global anti-avoidance measures, tax treaties, local tax rates, thin capitalization rules, and capital gains tax regulations to help minimize additional tax costs arising from cross-border structures.

Tax Advisory on Mergers and Acquisitions

Cross-border mergers and acquisitions have become increasingly frequent for corporate groups. Ernst & Young international tax service team assists enterprises in conducting tax due diligence for domestic targets across various industries and, in collaboration with EY global network, performs tax assessments for overseas targets.

We evaluate historical tax risks of target companies and identify potential purchase price adjustment opportunities. In addition, we support enterprises in determining the appropriate acquiring entity within the group, analyzing the tax implications of financing, and planning post-acquisition restructuring, helping the group to expand its global footprint while maintaining or improving tax efficiency.
