Planning, implementation, and compliance

Knowledge is power in the international tax landscape. Frequent changes in tax regulations—notably today, the extensive international tax changes from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act,  and other potential changes from the Biden administration's tax plans—and a complex global marketplace challenge companies to adapt and evolve to stay competitive and compliant.

With the right guidance, multinational companies can achieve success through careful planning and implementation with an enhanced methodology that meets wider business objectives and fosters growth on a global scale.

KPMG’s International Tax professionals provide the vast knowledge and practical experience to help companies looking to invest across borders for the first time or expand their existing international footprint.

Modeling A World of Tax: The far reaching power of KPMG tax models

As businesses struggle to evaluate the impacts of shifting tax rules, the days of back-of-the-envelope calculations for analyzing tax law changes are gone. Today, reliable planning requires models that are tailored, nimble, and sophisticated. That’s why KPMG’s “right-sized” adaptive tax modeling approach focuses on making the model yours.

KPMG Country-by-Country Risk Analyzer

As a result of the OECD BEPS project Action 13, which introduced country-by-country reporting, tax administrators now have a wealth of previously unavailable data to assess whether multinational companies are engaging in BEPS activities. The KPMG Country-by-Country Risk Analyzer evaluates potential risks in a company’s tax structure and uses interactive data visualizations to provide insights into risks and underlying factors.
