Our References: Board Members and Managing Directors
A now very large and growing part of our activities involves advising natural persons. These are regularly board members and managing directors of large corporations, whose names we do not disclose.
Our consulting services focus on ensuring the correct taxation of income from cross-border activities within the group, particularly in the context of various employee participation schemes and questions regarding their tax classification.
In addition to forward-looking structuring advice, we also offer tax defence advice. For example, we recently successfully concluded a mutual agreement procedure and were able to eliminate the double taxation of an internationally active manager.
