Tax

Businesses need to navigate an increasingly complex tax landscape

Tax rules are becoming more and more complex both internationally and nationally with an increased focus on businesses paying the "right" amount of tax and the introduction of detailed anti-avoidance rules intended to counter aggressive practices. 

Digitalisation challenge
Increased digitalisation of both international businesses and tax authorities bring their own challenges. The combined effect of all these developments has been an increase in both the complexity and, often, the amount of tax for which businesses are liable.

This makes for a tax landscape that can be difficult to navigate. Tax issues that arise for any one business will, of course, be unique to their circumstances – whether it is their type of business or the sector in which they operate, or their own tax or risk profile.
