EY Chile fields an enormous 103-strong department that acts on the gamut of tax work for clients from the construction, mining, energy, transport, shipping, manufacturing and financial sectors. Covering corporate taxation, international tax, transaction-related tax issues, compliance and reporting, clients notably benefit from the multinational professional services firm’s leveraging of its enviable network for cross-border matters.
