Tax is, arguably, the single biggest expense for any business. With rapid economic development and industrialization in emerging economies, tax is increasingly playing a definitive role in how businesses operate and how businesses evaluate and structure transactions to optimize value to stakeholders. This, coupled with increased globalization demands, calls for an understanding of tax from both a national and an international perspective.
