Taxation
The LOGOS taxation team contains 4-5 legal specialists, of which four hold masters degrees in international tax law or international business law. The team has a great deal of experience in these fields of expertise, and work on a wide range of matters for international investors and financial institutions, many of the largest companies in Iceland, medium sized companies, and private asset holders.
The Taxation team provides companies and their directors with advice on national and international tax law. An important part of the service is provision of advice on foreign investments and the global set-up of international business structures. It is vital that our multidisciplinary Taxation team works with other service lines, including specialists on stock exchange law, company law, securities and derivatives, property investment, etc. This is vital and a crucial part of the taxation service at LOGOS.
Our tax lawyers act and communicate with tax authorities on the legal interpretation on local legislation and international agreements. The LOGOS Taxation team also oversees legal tax charges for administrative appeal and litigation in court.
Example of taxation matters undertaken by the LOGOS Taxation team include:
- Structuring the finance and acquisition of companies in Canada, USA, India, China and other Asian countries.
