Taxation of the non-profit and public sector

Players in the public sector are subject to special tax arrangements, which have to be applied carefully and potentially penalising given the challenges they face. Whether it is a matter of VAT, payroll tax, taxation of profits or local taxation, these days they are confronted with issues that demand an in-depth expert knowledge which has to be continually updated. 

Our lawyers will support you with taking preventative measures, during tax audits and with litigation before the national and European authorities. 

With extensive experience founded on collaboration with key stakeholders in the non-profit sector (sporting, social, cultural and educational organisations, charities, etc.), our firm will help you prevent and manage fiscal risks, while taking into consideration your specific circumstances and those of the non-profit domain in which you operate, whether this involves recognition by the tax authorities of the non-profit nature of your business, implementation of sector-specific rules or help in the transition to full or partial taxation of your activities. 

Drawing on the cooperation of our specialist lawyers with their complementary expertise, our global, multi-disciplinary approach enables us to fully understand each one of your concerns. Our know-how, nurtured by over 100 years’ practice and widely recognised by the tax authorities, means that we are able to guide you in your strategic and tactical choices, whilst providing you with the utmost legal certainty.
