Tax Compliance Services
We advise our clients with those data and reports that are required by the tax authorities and that must be provided by taxpayers on a mandatory basis to the control entities, by legal mandate.
In some countries, taxpayers are required to provide exogenous information on their income, expenses, sales, withholdings and other relevant details of their economic activities through information returns, reports and other means.
Our service will help you to more easily reach the accuracy of the tax returns to be filed by taxpayers, giving you the peace of mind of being subject to review by the tax authority, when it seeks to detect possible evasions.
Tax Planning for Individuals and Legal Entities
Tax Litigation
The conflicts that arise between taxpayers and tax authorities in relation to the interpretation, application and enforcement of tax rules can be a headache for your entity or your business model, due to the different natures of the controversy, such as: on the determination of the tax base, the application of tax exemptions or deductions, the imposition of tax penalties, among others.
We advise you so that you can defend your position through administrative and judicial appeals, seeking to demonstrate that your interpretation of the tax rules is correct and that you have complied with all the corresponding tax obligations.
Tax litigation can be costly and lengthy, so it is important that taxpayers are well advised by professionals specialized in tax law. The resolution of tax litigation can have a significant impact on the financial situation of taxpayers and their relationship with the tax authorities, so it is essential to carry out proper tax planning and management to avoid its occurrence.
Procedures for tax refunds and tax offsets
We advise you with the procedures for tax refunds and compensations, before the tax authorities to recover excess taxes paid or to compensate them with pending tax debts.
In the case of refunds, we advise you on how to apply for a refund of taxes that have been overpaid or unduly paid.
Regarding offsets, we support you in requesting that the amount of overpaid or improperly paid taxes either be used to pay outstanding tax debts, such as taxes owed or tax penalties.
It is important to note that the procedures for tax refunds and offsets may vary in each country and that there are specific deadlines and requirements that must be met for their correct completion. Therefore, it is advisable that taxpayers have the advice of professionals specialized in tax law to carry out these procedures efficiently and effectively.
International Treaties
International treaties to avoid double taxation allow two or more countries to eliminate the possibility of the same economic fact or activity being taxed twice by both countries.
We interpret treaties, rules and procedures to determine the taxpayer's country of residence, the definition of tax concepts and the way in which taxes should be applied, with the purpose of avoiding double taxation and promoting trade and investment between the signatory countries.
Double taxation treaties are important to encourage foreign investment and international cooperation, as they provide legal certainty to taxpayers and avoid double taxation situations that can result in an excessive and unfair tax burden for companies and individuals.
Cross Border Transactions
We advise you on what are also known as cross-border or international transactions, those commercial or financial operations that involve the movement of goods, services or capital across international borders, i.e., between different countries.

Our professionals will assist you with the additional challenges and risks involved in these types of transactions, such as the need to comply with international tax laws and regulations, as well as other applicable international rules and regulations.
