Group Tax Consultant I
There is a tax
implication for almost every transaction a company undertakes, from trading to
acquisition to offshoring. Even the most sophisticated global companies often
struggle with balancing compliance details and long-term tax strategy. The tax
specialists of Deloitte Tax LLP (Deloitte Tax) have the perspective to help
companies understand national, state and local and international tax structures
and align the tax function with business objectives.
Deloitte Tax’s
Lead Tax Services (LTS) professionals understand the intricacies of tax
regulations and their relationships to business. In many cases, LTS
professionals manage the day-to-day client service relationships—and as such,
these professionals serve as the gateway to a variety of specialized Deloitte
tax services that can help improve compliance with taxing entities while
maintaining each client’s overall tax risk profile. Knowledgeable in Federal
Tax compliance and planning, LTS professionals work closely with clients and
other members of the Deloitte Tax team to understand each organization’s global
goals and strategies and how industry and economic trends affect the business.
