Taxation of Life Sciences, Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare
Our expertise for your strategic operations
Companies in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, medical equipment and healthcare sectors face unique challenges in terms of taxation. With its experience and collaboration with major players in the sector, our firm will guide you in how to manage your tax obligations and prevent risks.
Complex taxation connected to major R&D challenges
Our lawyers assist corporate groups from France and around the world with an expert and cross-cutting approach. The taxation applicable to these industries is greatly influenced by investments in research and development, intellectual property regimes, regular issues with the application of reduced VAT rates and by complex sectoral systems.
The medical equipment and appliances industry also faces specific constraints as a result of European regulations (in particular EU regulation 2017/745), CE marking, product traceability and complying with health standards. These obligations have a direct impact on companies' fiscal and accounting organisation: managing tax credits for research and innovation, handling grants and public financing, taxes on importing and exporting equipment, the amortisation of equipment and the valuation of intangible assets related to medical technology. Our firm therefore works on the analysis and protection of these operations, taking into account both fiscal and regulatory requirements.
A cross-cutting and international approach to tax challenges
To efficiently navigate the fiscal landscape, our lawyers can depend on our firm's recognised experience in France and abroad. Specialised expertise is required to manage the unique challenges of the life sciences, pharmaceuticals and healthcare sectors, as well as the capacity to call upon interdisciplinary teams.
