Tax Structuring, Optimisation & General Tax Advice

Structural tax considerations play a significant role in financial outcomes. We provide tailored tax structuring advice. Trusts may be a valuable element to consider, whether for structuring purposes or personal financial planning. Any planned structuring or restructuring should be carefully implemented, ensuring alignment with underlying agreements and documentation. Additionally, we are here to support you with any general tax-related questions you may have.

Certain considerations may give rise to the need to establish certain structures and restructurings, whether it is to improve efficiencies in business operations, to tackle changes in the market framework, to integrate investments, or simply to improve the financial situation. In any case these structures and restructurings come with tax implications. Our services focus on tax efficient structures and restructurings aligned with your objectives. To ensure best tailored advice we can involve legal and international experts from our network.

Structural tax aspects are considerable in refinancings. We provide structural advice for financial needs, be it also services on finance agreements.

We provide trust related services for both personal and business-related matters. Personally, you may want to secure your assets and provide for your loved ones with expertly structured trusts. We will guide you through the process, ensuring your trust aligns with your long-term financial goals and provides peace of mind. Alternatively, you may want to use trust structures in business relations which require thorough consideration from a tax point of view, especially when beneficiaries are located in multiple jurisdictions or moving in-between.

We ensure the implementation of the envisaged structure or restructuring from a tax angle, to minimise any associated tax risks and ensure appropriate agreements and documentation.

Our services also cover restructuring measures, implemented either pre- or post-closing.

Our comprehensive tax due diligence services ensure a thorough understanding of the relevant tax landscape. Our process identifies potential red flag tax risks, liabilities, and compliance issues, ensuring transparency and minimising financial exposure relevant for investors - whether in a share deal, asset deal, joint venture or other transaction.
