We evaluate clients’ overall level of compliance with existing laws and regulations; caution
them on procedures and practices that expose them to potential tax liabilities; quantify tax
exposures, risks and penalties; and advise them on proper course of action and alternative tax-
efficient policies and procedures. Tax due diligence review is particularly recommended for
companies that are contemplating expansion, mergers and consolidation, acquisitions, change
in ownership, or public listing.

We ensure the proper and efficient compliance of expatriates with their Philippine income tax
obligations. Our services include registration and application for Taxpayer Identification
Number (TIN), preparation and filing of annual Philippine income tax return, and payment of
tax due in the proper venue and within the allowed period. As a value-added service, we
respond to Correspondence Audits/Inquiries by the BIR regarding information declared in the
tax return. If desired by clients, we also conduct arrival or departure briefings and interviews
to apprise the expatriate of his Philippine tax liabilities. Upon a company’s request, we can
compute, on an annualized basis, the total withholding tax due from its expatriate during the
taxable year and prepare tax equalization and reimbursement calculations in accordance with
company policies.

We prepare clients’ tax returns covering monthly, quarterly and annual income taxes, value-
added tax and other percentage taxes, fringe benefits tax, withholding taxes, and documentary
stamp tax. Based on the information provided to us, we ensure that the computation of
clients’ tax liabilities is made in accordance with existing tax laws and regulations. On their
behalf, we file tax returns with the appropriate tax office and pay the corresponding taxes on
or before the due date.

To avoid prolonged trials, we offer independent verification of financial and other pertinent
documents that are presented as evidence in tax cases/disputes or claims for refund before
the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA). This involves an evaluation of the completeness and validity of
the documents and the correctness of the claims involved or other representations made by
the taxpayer based on the requirements provided under applicable laws and regulations.

We assess adherence of companies to customs and tax laws, rules, and regulations in relation
to their importation of goods. We help clients identify areas where potential tax and duty cost-

saving opportunities exist. We assist clients in evaluating and restructuring their record-
keeping policies and practices to properly comply with requirements under pertinent laws and
regulations and to minimize tax exposure.
