Tax

Enhancing a shareholder's value is a fundamental concept which drives every management effort in the modern business environment. Progressive and bottom-line focussed managements have realized that taxes (both direct and indirect, domestic and international), should be viewed as a dynamic item of cost rather than a passive charge on the profits.

Indeed, an effective tax-cost management provides a distinct competitive advantage. This requires the application of appropriate tax strategies proactively identified and surgically implemented.

We have developed a total tax management capability which encompasses the entire spectrum of direct, indirect and personal taxes. Our approach to tax planning is multi-jurisdictional.
