Our Services

The first line of defense for the Company's tax compliance begins during the tax audit stage. Here, we will deploy the necessary tools to ensure that the Tax Administration gains a detailed understanding of the Company's operations. This allows the tax audit to be conducted with greater insight, with the aim of concluding the audit process, where possible, without any findings or issues. 

We take on the defense of the Company in the event of tax adjustments or challenges to its operations by the Tax Administration. This defense is provided either at the administrative stage before SUNAT, Municipalities, or the Tax Court, or at the judicial stage in the case of a contentious-administrative lawsuit. 

Tax planning services involve evaluating the tax situation to analyze potential strategies and tax structures for reducing the tax burden within the limits allowed by tax legislation. In this regard, we propose and suggest tax schemes that align our clients' operations with the appropriate legal tax framework to minimize their tax liability. 

In accordance with regulatory requirements, we issue Technical Assistance certification reports to allow non-resident legal entities to apply a 15% withholding tax rate (normally 30%) when we verify the actual provision of technical assistance.
