Our tax lawyers work closely with other Firm teams in the development and implementation of tax structures for complex transactions. The leadership of our Firm in corporate finance and M&A deals combined with the experience of our tax lawyers in the creation of tax efficient structures, puts our tax department on the forefront of the market practice.
We also advise in, and litigate claims against tax authorities before both administrative and judicial courts, including the country’s Supreme Court, in all jurisdictions. Our tax litigation team has been internationally recognized for its performance and its participation in leading cases.
Our Firm pioneered the analysis and discussion of important tax law and regulation reforms in the Argentine market, which significantly modified the tax burden imposed on local debtors and other market participants.
In the field of foreign trade we provide integral consulting services in import and export matters, including -among others- tariff classification, customs valuation, regulations regarding origin, non customs-related restrictions and regulations on imports and exports (e.g., licenses, permits and quotas), unfair trade practices (i.e., antidumping, subsidies and countervailing measures, safeguards) as well as free trade agreements.
At BFM&L's Customs Practice, we have vast experience advising national and foreign investors on benefiting from export promotion programs, such as temporary importation for inward processing.
We are experienced in the strategic planning of foreign trade operations, and in carrying out internal audits. We can also represent our clients before all customs offices in Argentina (e.g. Salta's customs office; Province of Tierra del Fuego's customs offices), and in any administrative and/or judicial proceedings emerging thereof (e.g. defense within infringement proceedings).
We also provide advice regarding foreign exchange regulations applicable to foreign trade, and represent our clients in any related proceeding, before the Central Bank and financial institutions, among others.
