Taxation

It is usually the norm that international accounting firms or local tax agents offer tax services. However, more often than not, tax issues are also legal issues. The tax advice and tax planning schemes that El Chaer Law Firm has to offer are justifiable from both tax and legal perspectives. We aim to ensure that the objectives of regulatory compliance and tax optimization are achieved. In order to do so, our Lawyers closely monitor changing tax laws and regulations to ensure that our clients maximize the benefits of tax planning while achieving their business objectives.

Our Lawyers first seek to understand our clients’ goals and business operations aiming at employing both standard and creatively tailored planning to achieve sustainable tax minimization. Our experience includes developing and modifying trading structures, cash flow strategies, advising on transfer pricing methods, internal restructurings, and post-acquisition integration. To address the ever-changing maze of tax issues involving multiple jurisdictions, the Firm relies on its own experience and teams up with its network of correspondent firms (“Big Four” accounting firms) and its clients’ regular foreign advisors to achieve an integrated approach toward quick and cost-effective resolution.

To compete in today’s sophisticated, and sometimes tough, business climate, a company’s effective tax burden, tax compliance obligations and tax optimization may have significant impact on the company’s survival and growth. In Lebanon or abroad, our Lawyers help businesses of all sizes and in all types of industries to manage their tax responsibilities and handle their global tax liabilities.
