WTS Alliance

A professional cooperation of independent tax firms

WTS Alliance is a global network of selected independent tax firms and professionals.

WTS Alliance was formed in 2003 and has been constantly growing ever since. The coordinating body and first Member of WTS Alliance is WTS Aktiengesellschaft Steuerberatungsgesellschaft (WTS AG), based in Munich, Germany.

The other Members of WTS Alliance are in most cases legally independent selected tax firms with many years of experience in corporate tax consulting and a long history of cooperation with WTS AG. Some Members of WTS Alliance are part of the WTS Group: Currently WTS Alliance also comprises two branch offices of WTS AG in The Netherlands and Finland as well as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WTS AG in China.

In those countries where WTS Alliance is not yet represented by a member firm, client's requests are entirely being handled through Cooperation Partners.

WTS Alliance's goal is to provide its clients with competent "turn key" consultancy for their cross-border business, inter alia covering the following areas:

• International Tax Planning
• Cross-Border and Domestic M&A
• Financial Advisory Services
• Transfer Pricing Design and Documentation
• Tax Optimization of Sales Structures (buy-sell vs. agency)
• Consultancy on Cross-Border Plant Engineering and Construction
• Expatriate Taxation
• Real Estate Services
• International VAT and GST Consultancy

The professionals within the WTS Alliance member firms are experienced project managers in international tax matters providing their clients with integrated and harmonized solutions for all jurisdictions concerned. They have access to the complete technical know-how of the other Members of WTS Alliance as well as additional firms that serve as cooperation partners of the WTS Alliance. All Members of WTS Alliance have a strong service mentality and follow a highly practical approach. Project management by WTS Alliance makes it possible to present tailor-made cross-border solutions to the client and at the same time to reduce consulting costs.
