International tax

International taxation is extremely important in the global economic environment where businesses operate on an international level. The issues of international taxation require consideration of various legislative and regulatory requirements of different countries, and with the increasing trend of cross-border business, international taxation is becoming more complex and requires significant expertise and experience from specialists.
