Tax Controversy and Disputes Survey 2022

Insights

This survey seeks to identify how prepared multinational companies are to respond to increased scrutiny and challenge by tax authorities around the world.

Some key takeaways include:

  • 80% of our clients expect tax disputes to increase. Yet 81% do not have a dedicated head of tax controversy. This suggests more can be done to establish a strategic approach to tax dispute resolution. 
  • The global tax system is full of uncertainty – and even risk averse organisations can find a tax authority taking an adverse stance.
  • Tax disputes can take years to come to a head – the passage of time is usually not in the multinational’s interest – evidence is lost, memories fade, people leave.
  • GCs should ensure that they are aware of risks, and ready to provide pre-emptive or reactive support.

If you would like to discuss any aspects of the survey or to set up a meeting with our tax controversy experts, don't hesitate to contact us.  Our Tax team uses a multi-disciplinary approach to manage tax risks very favourably for clients.
