Tax

Many business and commercial decisions have significant tax implications, and it is often difficult to commit to a particular decision or investment without first having undertaken a careful tax evaluation or comparative study of the tax impact of alternative structures. This is particularly relevant where there are cross-border considerations, parties from multiple jurisdictions involved, or multiple business options available.
