Taxes

The ECOVIS ježek, Czech law firm also provides comprehensive tax consultancy services through its ECOVIS tax office. Thanks to our experience, we offer the client innovative and specific solutions within the legal and tax framework.

The provision of tax advice is geared to two main areas. The first is based on close cooperation with the legal team and represents a closely coordinated tax support for all types of legal services provided. The second responds to the ever-increasing tax impacts of new ways of cooperation on a global scale and focuses primarily on transfer pricing and related tax issues. Both areas arise from the philosophy of consistent focus on the specific situation of the client and achieving the maximum efficiency of the provided services.

Tax support for legal services is focused on the recommendation of an optimal tax solution for the client's planned or realized transactions. Attention is also paid to the identification of opportunities for tax planning and the support therefore includes the subsequent implementation.
