EU Direct Tax Services

For companies operating in Europe, it is becoming increasingly important to determine an EU tax strategy in order to manage the changes resulting from EU law developments. Today not only the companies themselves, but also shareholders, business analysts, audit committees and other stakeholders are showing an increased interest in how they should deal with EU law related risks and opportunities. These stakeholders are interested in questions such as: Did the company file claims based upon EU law and did it meet all statutory limitations for filing these? Should the company file its tax returns based upon EU law arguments? Our European network of tax and legal experts can offer you exactly the guidance you need to reach the balance between:

• opportunities for claiming EU refunds
• managing reputation risks, relationships with local revenue authorities
• costs of litigation
• long-term uncertainty about your company’s tax position and accounting issues
