Tax

Through the legal department in Bolzano, which consists of 8-10 people, Hager & Partners continues to assist its clients in many M&A deals and due diligence activities, real estate investments, evaluations for corporate/tax purposes, tax controversy, permanent establishment issues, R&D tax credits and tenders for public fundraising. TP Advisory was established in March 2017 by Hager&Partners and is specifically dedicated to transfer pricing, tax value chain projects, IP box regimes, and other incentives relating to intangible properties, global expansion services and instruments for the dimensional growth of companies.

During the study period, the firm assisted Deichmann Calzature in a tax dispute involving a transfer pricing issue. The team also advised GKN Sinter Metals with a valuation and the accompanying business transfer (hydrogen) to a newco for later share sales to another division of the group's existing holding.

KPMG and BDO TP seniors Katia Scordia and Rosanna Fusca joined the firm during the research period, while TP seniors Fiorella Franco and Gianfranco Dolci left.
