What we do

With long-standing experience in taxation, we assist companies and groups of companies and carry out investment valuations on behalf of investors. Alongside ordinary advisory work, we handle group taxation, tax consolidation, unified taxation of controlled companies and group VAT settlement. We also support clients in their international expansion, with particular regard to consignment stock agreements, setting up permanent establishments abroad and VAT compliance in other European Union countries.

Financial statements

Financial statements are more than a formality.

We prepare full and abridged financial statements and see them as a valuable source of information: through the management report and the notes we analyse and explain how the business is performing, giving shareholders and stakeholders a clear and complete picture.

  • EU-format financial statements
  • Notes to the accounts
  • Management report

Tax returns and tax planning

Taxes should be planned, not endured.

We prepare all tax returns and, for fiscal units, the tax consolidation agreements, but our mantra is “planning”: during the year we monitor the tax burden, assess the impact of key decisions (legal form, investments, remuneration, profit distribution) and estimate balance and advance payments in good time. The goal? To be “ready before the deadlines”.

  • Tax planning
  • Individual and corporate returns
  • IRAP
  • Tax consolidation

International VAT and special schemes

When business gets more complex.

EU and non-EU customers and suppliers, reverse charge and customs: we monitor regulatory changes and keep the rules for sales and purchase invoicing up to date. For groups of companies we handle group VAT settlement. The goal? Accurate VAT returns and Intrastat filings, with no surprises.

  • E-invoicing
  • Intrastat returns
  • Customs and imports
  • Group VAT

Corporate transactions

When a company changes shape.

Intra-group mergers, demergers of real estate divisions, conversions and contributions in kind under the tax-neutral “realizzo controllato” regime: we build the transaction from the numbers, assess its tax effects and guide you all the way to the notarial deed.

  • Mergers
  • Demergers
  • Contributions in kind
Sworn reports

Valuations

What is it really worth?

A shareholding to contribute, a business to sell, a shareholder leaving: we prepare sworn valuation reports and reasoned valuations using asset-based, income-based and mixed methods, ready to be sworn and used in the notarial deed.

  • Art. 2465 Civil Code
  • Business valuation
  • Shareholdings
Corporate documents

Company formation and governance

From the idea to the Companies Register.

We choose the most suitable legal form with you, draft the articles of association and shareholders’ agreements with tailored clauses for the notary, and keep the company’s affairs in order: minutes of shareholders’ and board meetings, filings with the Companies Register.

  • Articles of association
  • Shareholders’ agreements
  • Minutes

International taxation

Doing business across borders?

We assess when a permanent establishment abroad gives rise to obligations, or when a consignment stock agreement is enough (call-off stock, art. 41-bis Decree-Law 331/1993), and we coordinate foreign income with double taxation treaties. We also settle EU VAT through the OSS one-stop shop for distance sales to consumers in other EU countries.

  • Permanent establishment
  • Double taxation
  • Consignment stock
  • OSS VAT

Ownership structures

Different shareholders, different rights.

We design the balance between shareholders: share classes with different profit and voting rights, special rights, family holding companies and contributions of shareholdings, including with a view to generational transfer.

  • Share classes
  • Special rights
  • Holding companies
  • Generational transfer
Legislative Decree 39/2010 · Art. 2477 Civil Code

Statutory audit

Verified numbers, sounder decisions.

We carry out statutory audits for S.r.l. companies required by law and for companies that opt for a voluntary audit: we review the accounts and financial statements and issue the audit report, helping directors and shareholders read the numbers with confidence.

  • Audit of accounts
  • Audit report
  • Voluntary audit
Legislative Decrees 218/1997 · 546/1992

Tax authority relations and disputes

The best dispute is the one you avoid.

We aim to be a competent point of contact with the Italian Revenue Agency: we reply to questionnaires and requests, follow audits and inspections, and handle the pre-assessment hearing and settlement procedures, so that issues are resolved before litigation. When this is not possible, we assist you with appeals and hearings before the first- and second-instance Tax Courts.
