Tax Function Effectiveness

How your business wins from an effective tax function

It’s just a fact of life – all companies must comply with the tax laws. But, how many top managers really understand that a corporate tax function is an independent, yet fully operationally integrated, business unit that has a lot to do with a company’s ability to compete and win?

We see our role as helping you to get the most out of your company’s tax function. In this, we take our cue from the successful example of global business leaders – top Armenian and international companies. We have created a model corporate tax function that covers four key areas of responsibility:

• Ensuring tax compliance
• Defending a company’s interests as a taxpayer
• Tax planning and forecasting
• Preparing tax reporting

Our practice shows that when a company’s tax function takes an active role in management decision-making, this can help reduce risk and give the company a greater competitive edge.
