Tax Law

At CEKD we provide general corporate tax advice to our clients. Our tax practice covers federal, local and municipal taxes and includes the following services: tax planning, advice, and representation of our clients in administrative and/or judicial procedures and/or actions.

As regards tax planning, we advise our local and foreign clients in their business organization in Argentina by providing an adequate tax structure that will enable them to optimize the management of their resources and which covers tax regulations provided for by local rules and those arising from foreign rules (treaties to avoid double taxation).

In particular, we provide tax advice to clients in connection with the structuring of business reorganizations and transfers of going concerns; the development of financial and credit transactions; the structuring of trusts and financial trusts; the execution of technology transfer agreements and/or assignment of trade marks and/or patents; the constitution, organization, dissolution and/or winding-up of corporations, affiliates, branches and offices of representation and debt restructuring, among others.

In connection with the advice rendered, we assist our clients by providing timely answers to their daily queries related to the performance of their activities and business. In this sense, we participate in the drafting and revision of agreements; we analyze the feasibility and efficiency of corporate decisions from a tax standpoint and, if necessary, we propose alternative structures or developments.

Finally, together with the litigation department, we provide general advice and we represent our clients in tax-related claims, motions, controversies and/or litigations before tax authorities (Federal Administration of Public Income, Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos –AFIP-; Department of Local and Municipal Income, Direcciones de Rentas Provinciales, Municipales and/or Government of the City of Buenos Aires, Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Tax Courts) and federal and local courts.

CEKD’s members have kept an excellent professional relationship with officers of AFIP and the Tax Court of Argentina (Tribunal Fiscal de la Nación) where they have worked before joining CEKD.
