The directory below focuses on contacts
with tax planning and compliance experience related to direct investment
decisions, including projects in other countries (such as "country tax
desks" in major firms, multistate tax practices, in-country specialists,
etc.)
We will disclose active working relationships as shown in the table
for
Location Consultants
through the linked Service Profiles.
Note that location consultants can often advise about investment incentives
and credits, and support the negotiation process with government agencies,
and may know how to compare tax burdens between areas in general, but
detailed tax planning and analysis should be handled by specialists.
We may also identify many other contacts of potential interest
on a selective basis for convenient reference, as in the following examples, which focus primarily on
firms with a significant international practice for trade and investment
issues.
See also : regional and state directories for
selective lists of tax advisors in US areas, and similar directories for
investment in Europe or
other global regions
|
The presence or absence of any organization on these lists,
or their position on the lists, does not imply any endorsement or opinion about their services,
nor by them about our own. The selections are simply intended to be helpful to executives who may be
unaware of such contacts, or how to reach them or their websites quickly.
Please note that it generally is not viable to include more
direct "deep links" to the relevant services of the large accounting
and tax firms on their websites, because those addresses change too
frequently. Instead, refer to our
Professional Search
feature for site searches.
It may therefore be more helpful to identify specific
services for each firm by the name currently used within the firm for that
specialty so that the relevant
content can be found more easily through keyword searches within their websites.
We may also suggest specific partners to contact by country
or specialty, and can highlight the professional experience of any
participants in our Biography
section. |

Directory :
suggestions or corrections are welcome,
such as to highlight expertise in particular countries or specialties
(customs, VAT, transfer pricing, international assignment services for
executives, etc.). |
Note that offices in specific regions or countries may be
highlighted in regional contact directories,
and specialized services may also be listed in other service directories.
Offices and capabilities may also be highlighted through

Specializes in US federal and state R&D
tax credits. Many executives may not yet realize the very large cost
savings which can be achieved now through research and development tax credits. The
eligibility criteria have changed so that more types of costs qualify, and
the tax savings can be both retroactive and carry forward.
