Tax audits and disputes typically are unique, urgent, inconvenient and distracting. Without proper guidance and coordination, multinational organisations can spend enormous amounts of time and resources – and suffer from corresponding business disruption – addressing non-routine tax authority interactions across jurisdictions. In today’s tax landscape, where authorities investigate technical merit and analysis as well as implementation and motive (including harnessing the power of data analytics tools and related technology), you need experienced, knowledgeable specialists to provide a strategic and customised solution.

Through decades of working on a broad range of tax issues, we have fine-tuned our technology, analytic procedures, and response methodologies to offer a broad-based, scalable solution that we can tailor to each client and tax dispute.

Deloitte's tax dispute teams include individuals with a range of skills and experience, including former tax administration employees, alternative dispute resolution professionals, and, in many countries, tax litigation specialists, all supporting you throughout the tax dispute resolution cycle. We work across all tax fields, including domestic income tax, international tax, transfer pricing, indirect tax, and specialty areas such as incentives; in some markets, we also provide tribunal and court representation. Services include audit readiness assessment and preparation (including tax “health checks”); strategies to minimise the impact of tax disputes; support for mitigation of potential disputes through revenue authority ruling systems; support for international treaty procedures; application of advanced pricing agreements (APAs), and other such tools.
