Tax

Taking the right approach

Taxation is a fundamental part of how countries and companies operate. Tax policy needs to be shaped and actively managed by governments and corporates alike.

From a corporate viewpoint, tax governance is a rising priority, as legislation gets more complex. We work with our clients to establish tax policies and processes, which determine that compliance responsibilities are met, planning opportunities are realised, and there is appropriate communication with the markets and regulators. That way, management can communicate that taxation is under control and get on with running the business.

We use our in-depth technical tax knowledge, and our broader understanding of how tax fits into the wider business picture, to help clients to meet their compliance responsibilities and to act on planning opportunities. Whether you are a business or an individual, we work as a team to help achieve your objectives.

This ethos is reinforced by our ability to assemble multi-disciplinary teams of professionals, drawing on KPMG's dedicated resources and global network not only in tax, but also in audit and advisory work. Our people operate within industry groups, giving you access to advisers who can understand your specific tax issues, skillfully using technology to assist data extraction and management. We also maintain regular and constructive dialogues with the tax authorities.

We work hard to build and maintain the trust, respect and confidence not only of our clients and the tax authorities, but also of the communities in which we operate. We believe this commitment plays a major role in KPMG's regular endorsement as a trusted and valued adviser, as well as respected, responsible employers of choice.
