• Defended a Finnish multinational company during a comprehensive tax audit. Through effective communication with tax authorities, thorough documentation, and a clear understanding of the company's business processes, the initial correction is reduced by more than 90%, settling the case at the audit level. Typically, similar cases would escalate to the objection or appeal stages. This result reflects a significant positive shift from the global perspective on such matters.
• Defended a palm oil exporter in a TP dispute on rebates to affiliates, convincing the court that such incentives were commercially justified under real-world commodity trading practices.
• Defended a leading provider of vertical transportation systems on tax dispute over revenue recognition method based on business classification. This case proves Veronica's ability to combine technical tax litigation skills with deep knowledge of accounting standards.
