Firm overview

As the world continues to change and we witness the increasing role of technology, discussions around tax are getting more complex and intense.

Transparency, ‘fairness’ and tax governance are now key topics in board’s agendas, as governments take effective steps to make this the new tax landscape for businesses: the BEPS action plan and other OECD statements are strong evidence of this new mindset.

Our tax professionals are forward thinkers with a strong understanding of this new tax landscape, as well as of the business drivers and conditions across the jurisdictions in which clients operate.

At KPMG we take a holistic approach to tax planning, so that clients have a consistent, robust and effective view on their tax issues and concerns.

Because our tax professionals take the time to understand the clients’ business issues – not just the challenges related to tax – they also know when and how to draw on the experience and knowledge of other local and global service lines to help address these tax issues and concerns.

KPMG Armenia is a fully integrated tax and legal practice focusing on the unique business needs of our clients. With exceptional technical knowledge as our base, we assist with wide-ranging tax and legal services.
