Expertise
Corporate Tax Law in Brazil is complex, sometimes contradictory, and it is
constantly changing. Smart companies have consultants that know the rules, anticipate risks, and develop tax strategies proactively.
Inevitably, all large companies in Brazil, at some time, are involved in a tax controversy whether because they are served delinquency notices due to divergences over the application of the legislation, or they go to court to dispute the validity of the legislation.
Consultancy on possible disputes is, therefore, necessary, as well as planning to avoid costly lawsuits.
