From complex supply chains to cross-border manufacturing structures, we help industrial groups manage tax, customs, transfer pricing and financial regulatory requirements across their international operations.

Industry Overview

Automotive, industrial and manufacturing businesses operate through increasingly complex international value chains. Components, tooling, semi-finished products and finished goods may move between multiple jurisdictions before reaching the final customer.

These operations require businesses to coordinate customs classification and valuation, import and export requirements, transfer pricing, intercompany manufacturing arrangements and indirect tax obligations.

Business reorganizations can introduce additional complexity. Plant relocations, changes in manufacturing models, establishment of new entities, conversion of existing structures and regional supply-chain reorganizations may all have tax, regulatory and operational implications.

As manufacturing groups expand internationally, they also need to ensure that their legal and tax structures remain aligned with the actual functions, assets and risks of each entity within the group.
