Our tax specialists will work with you to help lessen the likelihood of a challenge or audit before a tax dispute arises. For those matters that ultimately become the subject of a dispute, we work with you to resolve the dispute efficiently and collaboratively. For the resolution of international tax disputes, we work closely with KPMG’s global network of professionals.

We have successfully assisted clients in all stages of the tax dispute continuum: 

• Assistance in discussions with the Luxembourg tax authorities, invoking the rights of taxpayers in the Luxembourg tax procedures and, if required, lodging administrative appeals
• Representation in tax litigation before the Luxembourg administrative tribunal in direct tax matters
• Managing and responding to requests for exchange of tax information
• Requesting competent authorities to initiate mutual agreement procedures and, if required, submitting unresolved cases to arbitration to solve tax treaty disputes about double taxation, mostly triggered by transfer pricing issues, dual residence or profit attribution to permanent establishments
• Assistance during local or joint tax audits, development of audit strategies and handling subsequent proceedings
• Individual and corporate defense in tax-related liability proceedings
• Advice in cases of criminal tax matters (tax evasion, tax fraud)
