Tax

We stand with you in the dialogue, design and execution of efficient tax structures during the development of your business, as well as the restructuring, purchase and sale of assets or companies.

Our experience in tax law permanently intersects with our work in our other practice areas, particularly with Mergers & Acquisitions. We are able to detect possible contingencies and tax consequences and provide solutions as well as efficient structures for both organisation and investment, tailored to each case.

We specialise in the application of international agreements to avoid Double Taxation.

At CMS Carey & Allende we also guide you by offering solutions for the protection of your property. We endeavour to design strategies that allow the conservation or efficient transfer of resources that have been accrued throughout a person’s professional career. An important part of our practice is comprised of analysing, designing and implementing tax planning for high net-worth individuals and families.

Our experts can represent you in administrative and judicial proceedings regarding control, liquidation and tax law trials.
