Indirect Tax Services

ICS commits to developing a strategy that aligns with the client’s overall tax strategy and is sustainable for the client to manage going forward.

Businesses operating worldwide are impacted by a variety of non-income taxes and duties. These taxes, unless properly managed, can have a greater impact on the bottom line compared to income taxes. With complex rules and rates differing based on jurisdictions and type of business, governments are continually changing these indirect taxes as a favored revenue generator.

ICS helps you understand, manage, and mitigate these global indirect tax obligations. Whether being faced with an audit or looking to assess the adequacy of the current practices and procedures, ICS can partner with you to determine the specific scope of your needs and develop the right approach.
