TAXES
We are all aware of the relevance vested on the
taxes liability, in respect to commerce and
industry.
In this field, we are committed to render a tax
advisory of integral nature, which includes all the
incidences of our clients operations, in order to
minimize the tax burden, without conflicting the
applicable legal framework.
It has been proved that a prompt, efficient advisory,
does not only guaranties considerable financial
savings, but also prevents potential contingencies,
by allowing the taxpayer to focus in the development
of its goods or services.
The services we have implemented in this field are:
A.
Due Diligence
Through this service, we review the compliance
of formal and material obligations in regards to
taxes (Income Tax, Value Added Tax, Tax Stamps,
Income on Real State Assets, Solidarity Tax, Tax
on Financial Products, etc). This allows us to
determine the existence of potential
contingencies, as well as the proper assessment
of taxes, timely submission of tax returns, and
it also allows us to take advantage of the
applicable tax benefits. In addition to due
diligence, we also carry on other types of
reviews, such as:
|
|
• |
Legal |
|
|
• |
Operative |
|
|
• |
Administrative |
B.
Planning
Being aware of our clients operations, allows us to strategically plan and
design their tax liabilities, in order to substantially reduce their burdens,
taking advantage of applicable benefits, without conflicting with the legal
framework.
C.
Attention to enquiries
By counting on field specialists, we are
qualified to attend your enquiries, ensuring a prompt and efficient response.
D.
Capacitation
As a result of the continuous amendments to tax laws, it is a must to the staff
and the officers involved in tax assessment, to keep up to date on this issue.
Accordingly, we offer seminars either on subjects specifically relevant to our
clients, and on applicable updates.
E.
Taxpayer Defense
Considering that tax laws are subject to interpretation, every taxpayer is in
risk of adjustments or objections to their tax returns. In this particular
subject, we may assist our clients in the defense of their interests before the
tax administration, as much in the administrative process (reply, objection,
etc.) as in the legal process (litigation, economic-coactive, etc.) by promoting
resources or refutations of extraordinary nature (either appeal or protective
resources). In the development of our work, in this field, we carry on a
thorough analysis of the arguments submitted by tax administration, supervise
the rendering of suitable means of proof, and also evaluate the accounting
aspects involved in the case, among others.
F.
Assistance to Foreign Staff
Foreign staff requires specialized advisory in regards to their tax liabilities
within the country. Our practice may assist the company in advising its officers
or foreign staff with the design of strategies aimed to minimize their tax
burden, to determine their tax equations, and in general, guide them in the
compliance of their main liabilities in Guatemala.
