Tax law
The Firm advises companies, investors and individuals with assets on the tax consequences of their decisions, before they make them and while they meet their obligations.
Schöndube · Fernández · López Madrigal reviews the tax effect of a transaction while the way of carrying it out can still be changed, and supports the client in meeting their obligations before the tax authority.
What is tax law?
Every transaction by a company or by an individual with assets, from the sale of a property and a payment to a partner to the signing of a contract with a foreign counterparty or the transfer of an inheritance, produces tax consequences that determine how much tax is paid and who pays it, and these are best known before the decision is made, because once the transaction is closed there is limited room to correct it and doing so is usually more costly.
Tax law governs that relationship with the State. The Firm chooses, among the lawful ways of doing what the client already intends to do, the one with the appropriate tax cost, and keeps up to date the obligations that decision brings with it, so that the client learns of any irregularity before the authority points it out.
Tax services
Tax planning
We review which taxes a transaction or structure generates and look, within what the law allows, for the way of carrying it out that involves the lowest cost for the client, whether a company or an individual, including the incentives and benefits the law provides and that the client can take advantage of.
Tax compliance
We handle the tax obligations of the company and its shareholders, including those that accompany a corporate transaction or the purchase and sale of real estate. When the matter is the purchase of a company or a property, we work on it together with the Corporate and Real Estate practices, so that the tax effect is reviewed at the same time the contract is negotiated.
Corporate and international taxation
We advise on the taxation of business operations within Mexico and of those that cross borders, including how treaties for the avoidance of double taxation (paying the same tax in two countries) apply to payments between companies in different countries, and we assist expatriates, that is, those who move to Mexico or leave it with income or assets in more than one country.
Estate planning and personal taxation
We organize the assets of the individual and their family so that their transfer, by inheritance or by gift, is carried out according to the client's wishes and at the appropriate tax cost, and we review the personal tax position of those who hold investments, real estate or income outside Mexico.
How we work
We serve clients with partners, income or assets in another country in Spanish and English, so that they have a single team and a single legal criterion.
