AREAS OF PRACTICE

Taxation

Fiscal

We have various specialist areas, including: consulting and litigation on matters involving direct taxes under the legal and constitutional framework, considering Mexican legislation and the international agreements signed by Mexico on taxation; consulting and negotiation with the tax authorities on transfer pricing, on both decisions expected and in defense of the interests of our clients; structural reviews for multinational groups in terms of their investment in Mexico andadvising on mergers, spin-offs, and purchases of assets related to tax efficiency; consulting and litigation on matters involving indirect taxes.

BSTL’s tax practice has consolidated and established itself both domestic and international, given our participation in matters involving audits on overseas payments and the application of international accords, which has resulted in favorable court decisions. Also, thanks to our active participation in client audits, significant savings have been obtained in terms of these proceedings. 

We are active in different sectors: pharmaceutical, oil, confections, international transport, automotive, mining, industry and trade, which has earned us broad experience in tax matters, domestic and international, in benefit of our clients.
