TAX ADVISORY
We assess the tax implications of planned and ongoing activities, identify areas of risk and provide practical recommendations. We consider each case individually, after reviewing the facts, business objectives and available documentation.
Tax advisory does not provide one-size-fits-all answers detached from the documents and circumstances of a case. Every decision requires an assessment of the facts, applicable rules, business objectives and potential consequences.
At SANDRA, we take a practical approach to day-to-day business matters, planned transactions, VAT, corporate income tax (CIT), personal income tax (PIT) and dealings with the tax authorities.
We do not promise to eliminate risk. We help identify and reduce it, and document the approach taken.
We agree the scope of advice individually, after reviewing the matter, documents and the client’s objectives. Support may include a single consultation, a tax opinion, an application for an individual tax ruling or a more extensive analysis of a transaction or change in the business model.
