Align tax with business strategy
Beyond legal requirements, an organisation’s tax strategy must be intrinsically linked to the commercial and overall strategic objectives of the business. Poor tax management and lack of governance can have a negative commercial and reputational impact on the business. This requires a new approach to setting a tax strategy, connecting with wider finance and operational stakeholders to define the role of tax management within the organisation.
We can help you to define your tax strategy while considering the broader debate around tax policy developments to help you respond in the most effective way.
Tax policy & administration
Our role in tax policy involves working with a wide range of stakeholders. Our global Tax network helps individuals and organisations with the tax side of their businesses and investments, such as tax compliance and tax planning. Some of our professionals are more focused on tax policy more directly - for example:
- working with governments on their tax efficiency and capacity to establish effective tax regimes and administrative systems
- undertaking benchmarking exercises, working in collaboration with outside organisations such as our Paying Taxes project with the World Bank Group
- helping to bridge the relationship gap between tax administrations and businesses that want to adopt a more cooperative compliance regime
- advising on the feasibility and efficiency of greater tax transparency that benefits businesses and policy-makers
- exploring the impact of tax rule changes both domestically and internationally, as with the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) action plan
