About

Provided by Mendoza, Palacios, Acedo, Borjas, Páez Pumar & Cía

Our tax experts are recognized by peers, clients and accountants as the best. We give general tax assistance to local and foreign clients, concerning their exposure and the application of the Venezuelan tax regime, in order to obtain efficient tax management and avoid claims from the tax authorities.

At the tax planning level, we help our clients to organize their activities to obtain the most advantageous results and avoid overpayment of taxes. We advise clients in Venezuela who receive foreign income and those with interests in different jurisdictions, paying special attention to domicile, residence, permanent establishments, and treaties to avoid double taxation.

We assist international clients who wish to do business in Venezuela, not only with regard to the application of Venezuelan tax laws and regulations, but also regarding the best and most efficient fiscal and corporate structure suited to their specific needs.

We assist our clients in procedures before tax authorities and courts.  In the very difficult Venezuelan judicial system, we represent our clients with total transparency and we have won significant cases.
