Taxation

Berney Associés assists both, private individuals and corporate, in all tax related areas relating to income, wealth, succession and VAT, whether national or international.

We review your activities and advise you in optimising and planning for your particular situation. We also monitor your tax return, particularly when official tax decisions and notices of interim payments have been issued. We assist you during tax audits and recourse against tax decisions.

In addition to handling your tax returns, we analyse and plan your tax obligationsin order to take advantage of all existing legal opportunities of optimisation. In case of corporate restructuring – founding companies, mergers & acquisition, liquidations or wealth handovers – our experts advise you and, where necessary, negotiate with tax authorities on the tax status that is most suited to your situation.
