Individual Taxation
The increasing complexity of the tax system and the constant changes in tax law, in particular the Personal Income Tax law and the adoption of new rules on Social Security, means that enterprises must regularly review their internal procedures, adapt employees’ remuneration packages and give consideration to personnel costs, all critical factors for the increase of productivity.
It is natural that individual investors feel the need to be updated and receive tax assistance when planning their investments, in order to comply with their tax obligations while, at the same time, achieving tax maximization and optimisation.
To accomplish this, economic agents, enterprises or individuals, need access to the most recent tax changes that may give rise to internal modifications or which generate opportunities. The same applies to the Social Security system, which has been suffering significant changes in recent years, leading to the approval of the new Code of Social Security.
In addition, internationalisation, globalisation and EU tax harmonisation, constitute a challenge and an opportunity to those operating internationally, for whom the timely awareness of the tax laws is essential to the success of their projects and investments.
