The Investment Funds / Private Equity group represents numerous domestic and international investment funds with a variety of fields of activities
- International Tax Planning – The International Tax Planning group helps to coordinate and direct clients’ worldwide tax affairs - including strategies to minimize exposure to foreign corporate taxation, permanent establishment exposure, withholding taxes, European VAT and similar taxes and duties, and many exposures unique to particular jurisdictions.
- Transfer Pricing – Our transfer pricing department offers Israel’s most comprehensive guidance on international transfer pricing, with a full range of services, focusing on the legal, economic, and business-related aspects of the client's tax structure and supply chain. Our team prepares the required transfer pricing studies, in accordance with Israeli and foreign regulations (including the newly adopted OECD BEPS regulations), intercompany agreements, transfer pricing policies, APAs, transfer pricing valuations, and the BEPS readiness process.
