Tax
Abreu Advogados advises clients on Tax issues in Portugal and international markets including M&A, corporate restructuring, corporate governance and compliance.
Our Tax Advice practice is ranked by leading industry publications such as Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500.
Our specialized tax team relies upon a multidisciplinary approach, covering all the areas of tax advice in Portugal.
On the consultancy side, we should highlight the firm’s track record in foreign investment tax, in particular, real estate/tourism and technology, company restructuring, energy sector tax and its specialisation in wealth tax and financial investments in Portugal.
On the contentious side, our team has acquired an excellent reputation as a result of the success obtained in complex legal trials in European Tax Law, including Stamp Duty, VAT and transfer pricing, although the contentious practice covers all types of tax.
Our team closely monitors the new levels of tax subjectivity and tax uncertainty of concern for companies and individuals worldwide. At Abreu Advogados we try to untie the knots of a Tax legislation that grows in complexity on a daily basis and we assist our Clients in navigating the world of Taxation in a secure and confident manner.
Whether acting ahead of the problem to avoid conflict with the Tax Authorities, or facing them in Court when conflict can not be avoided, we support our Clients in all sectors of activity in which Abreu Advogados operates, and in matters as diverse as:
- M&A: tax due diligence, tax structuring of the acquisition; incorporation of the acquisition vehicle (eg: investment funds, private equity companies, real estate companies, etc.).
