Introduction

Current economic and political developments require tax professionals worldwide to be more targeted in their work and to give increased consideration to the impact of development on their business.

In a survey carried out this year, they point to tax risk as a major factor in their thinking. Last year, this figured with only 6% of tax professionals who responded to a survey. This year it is 32%. A tax director in a Danish pharmaceuticals company said this was partly because of the economic environment but also because of political events worldwide, the increased bullishness of tax authorities and greater complexity of tax legislation.
