Global Tax

Trusted experience, cutting-edge capability


Governments worldwide are aggressively pursuing additional revenue, and crises-related restructurings pose new and difficult challenges for tax planning and dispute resolution. At Baker & McKenzie, we understand the business and legal intricacies of international taxation and have an unmatched ability to design, implement and defend international tax planning structures.

We are the most highly rated and recommended tax adviser among law firms, recognized worldwide as thought leaders in direct and indirect taxation, transfer pricing, and dispute resolution. Our more than 750 tax lawyers, economists and advisers in 42 countries are in touch with changing tax laws, practices and dispute resolution techniques and can help design, implement, and defend tax strategies for international operations and transactions.

We have served as trusted tax counsel to many of the world’s largest public companies for more than five decades. Unlike accounting firms, we have experienced tax litigators who can represent clients in all phases of tax dispute resolution. We have handled large tax controversies at the audit, appeals and trial court levels in many countries and have successfully litigated some of the largest tax disputes on record.

Russia recently signed protocols with Switzerland and Luxembourg introducing important changes to its tax treaties with each country. We summarize changes to withholding tax rates, taxation of shares of real property investment holding, exchange of information and anti-conduit provisions, as well as implications for taxpayers.
New insurance contribution rates for employers in Russia are taking effect on 1 January 2012. We discuss the consequences and recommended actions for companies doing business in Russia.
The December 2011 edition of the Global VAT/GST Newsletter features key updates on VAT and legal developments on a regional and local country basis.
