Start a chain reaction
Customer behaviours and expectations are changing dramatically, challenging the established supply chain and operations setups of leading industrial companies. Supply chains are increasingly facing major disruptions, with the impact of COVID-19 at the top of the list. To succeed in this evolving marketplace, companies need to transform linear supply chains into autonomous supply chain ecosystems. At PwC, we integrate tax, risk, cyber and privacy practice into our digital operations solution.
By incorporating Tax practice capabilities into our Digital Operations solution, PwC helps you leverage R&D tax credits and design supply chain and manufacturing operations to lower your overall global tax footprint and facilitate tax payments to suppliers.
