TIWB: Expert assistance

TIWB supports tax administrations who are losing valuable revenues through ineffective audits of complex cross border transactions. TIWB Experts use a practical approach to provide guidance on identifying audit risks and undertaking real-time audits, while transferring valuable experience gained from dealing with similar issues in their home jurisdictions. Local auditors retain a sense of ownership, build confidence and reinforce capacities to implement the tax code, leading to improved voluntary compliance.

The TIWB Expert can assist every step of the way – both onsite and remotely in between visits.
