Activity

The Tax Law team offers its national and international clients integrated and innovative tax law advice.

Our Tax and Criminal Litigation team is recognised in the market as having deep knowledge of taxation, accounting and business law. TELLES’ team is composed by members highly specialised in the various areas of tax law.

TELLES tax and litigation advice are not narrowly focussed on tax law, but integrated with other areas of practice, thus creating a multidisciplinary context that guides all of the firm’s activities.

In addition to our strong performance in all aspects of national Tax Law, TELLES also offers legal advice specialised in international Tax Law. In this context, Portugal has attracted a number of important international investors, leading to a natural and ever-growing internationalisation of TELLES’ client base. The unstoppable globalisation of the business world also means many of our clients have an international presence. All these factors are compounded by the fact that international taxation is one of the areas of law that has been subject to more legislative changes and developments, especially in recent years. This is an area of increasing importance to our clients and, as a consequence, it has become one of the areas to which our firm has been most strongly committed.

In an area of permanent change, it is necessary to have a dedicated team that is constantly attentive to the evolution of international tax legislation. Our lawyers have extensive experience in advising clients in:

• Creation of international structures;
• Advice and implementation of Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) programmes;
• Advice on repatriation of profits;
• Tax efficient ways of structuring the entry into new markets;
• Tax advice in the area of transfer pricing;
• International tax compliance, such as the new international reporting obligations;
• Wealth management and tax regimes for non-habitual residents. 

In this context, TELLES works closely with renowned law firms around the world that are our partners not only through the ITSG network but also as a result of several formal and informal partnership agreements that TELLES has entered into in recent years.

With regards to tax litigation, TELLES has acted in several highly complex national and international cases, with our team enjoying extensive experience and offering a comprehensive service from the start until the conclusion of the entire process.
