At ForTran, we provide clients with comprehensive tax compliance reviews and forward-looking structuring services that integrate legal, tax, and financial considerations.
Our compliance services include tax filing assistance, tax health checks, special tax adjustments, and tax due diligence. We issue legal opinions on tax risks tailored to specific business needs, including for IPO-bound companies where tax risks in equity incentive plans, R&D super deductions, and "share-based payment" arrangements often have significant implications on deductibility and preferential treatment eligibility.
Our structuring services cover every stage of corporate development—from site selection and group structure to annual tax planning and optimization of the overall effective tax burden. We assist with the design of salary structures, dividend distribution models, contract and invoicing frameworks, and integrated personnel and documentation systems. We also advise on tax-efficient solutions in financing, M&A, restructurings, and IPOs.
At the heart of every engagement is our unwavering commitment to legality. We begin with precise legal qualification before exploring quantitative optimization, ensuring that each plan is both compliant and commercially sound. This disciplined approach is why ForTran is known for "the elegant integration of tax and law."
