Corporate Tax

Tax is an integral part of how your organisation is structured and managed, and ultimately how profitable it is. This is true regardless of industry, location, and other factors. This is why tax is part of everything we do at Anaford. We have implemented a broad tax practice across the firm, with experienced attorneys focusing on a number of specialised areas.

International and domestic taxation

Ever-changing tax laws and regulations across multiple countries necessitate a clear plan for managing your organisation’s current (and future) tax obligations. We provide domestic and international clients with comprehensive and commercially-focused guidance on the full range of tax matters, including advice on negotiations, contracts, due diligence work, and governance policies and controls.

Tax proceedings and litigation

We work to resolve disputes in the most effective and efficient way. Our lawyers have first-hand experience working with governmental tax authorities. Read more about our Tax Proceedings & Litigation expertise.

Corporate tax compliance

We advise corporate clients on tax reporting obligations, including FATCA and CRS and also develop software solutions specific to each organisation to automatically process the relevant client data to create and deliver reports to meet reporting requirements.
