Taxation of industrial and commercial groups
Our expertise for your strategic operations
Companies must find their way in a constantly changing tax environment whilst adapting their strategies to remain competitive. Requirements for transparency and sustainable taxation redefining practices and imposing increased vigilance.
With its extensive knowledge of all industrial and commercial activities, our firm guides major French and international players in how to manage their tax obligations and prevent risks.
When it comes to financing, R&D, restructuring operations, preventing fraud or international growth and taxation, our teams help to anticipate and limit the tax impacts of strategic decisions.
An integrated approach to the taxation of industrial and commercial groups
Corporate taxation is subject to great change, which has undergone successive structural reforms in recent years.
Our tax lawyers work with industrial and commercial groups in France and abroad to ensure that operations are compliant, anticipate tax risks and to make their strategic decisions secure. We guide finance and tax departments in the daily management of their obligations, structuring flows and implementing optimising systems in compliance with the regulatory requirements.
Our teams conduct full audits of the internal tax risks, and the compliance of subcontractors and business partners, to ensure that the whole tax and operational chain is under control. They also work on all VAT issues in France as well as inside and outside the European Union. We assist our clients with customs matters, which is a major challenge for groups operating over several continents.
Our lawyers also guide innovative companies on the taxation of R&D, including protecting and valuing industrial and intellectual property, and implementing and securing French research and innovation tax credits (CIR and CII).
Finally, our teams are there to advise on tax disputes, particularly in the context of audits, negotiations with the authorities, requests for approval or tax rulings, and managing transfer pricing.
Renowned experts in particularly niche tax segments
Our experts master all of the technical aspects of corporate taxation, whether it applies to all groups (holding companies, operating companies, tax consolidation, intra-group tax flows) or to specific sectors.
An ad hoc team, coordinated by a partner, is created for every assignment to guarantee pragmatic and long-term solutions
