Business tax advisory services — Tax adviser
A business may need coordinated tax advice when its activities, ownership or trading model change. Outline the business form, countries and decision involved, then distinguish recurring reporting from advice needed before implementing the change.
Service scope
Tax advice for the activities and decisions of a business, potentially covering several tax types or jurisdictions. It is an engagement for defined commercial questions, not a substitute for every company's accounting, payroll and compliance functions.
What is normally included
- Business-tax issue review
- Coordination of defined tax questions
- Advisory support for operational changes
What is not included
- Guaranteed tax efficiency
- Automatic compliance with every tax system
- Aggressive schemes presented as standard planning
Typical tasks
- Map the business activity
- Identify tax questions requiring attention
- Review relevant records and plans
- Coordinate specialist inputs
- Provide an agreed advisory deliverable
What to include in your brief
- Business form
- Nature of proposed change
- Countries of activity
- Tax areas already identified
- Decision timetable
Choosing the right professional
Check experience with the business model and ask which taxes the engagement covers. Clarify how legal, accounting and payroll interfaces will be managed and require disclosure of assumptions rather than treating a general business review as comprehensive clearance.
Important considerations
- Operational changes may affect several taxes
- Advice may rely on incomplete commercial plans
- Cross-border work may require additional local specialists
