Tax
Santamarina y Steta fields a tax litigation department that has recent experience in challenging local environmental taxes, amendments to federal VAT credit provisions, advertising expenses, and real estate tax credits. The practice’s client base has a broad sector coverage and General Motors stands out recently as a multinational instructing the team on the gamut of its tax issues. The department is led by Mariano Calderón, an experienced advisor, particularly as regards amparo, administrative and contentious judicial proceedings. Counsel Karina Robledo focuses her practice on tax advisory matters (as well as money laundering), and associate Jair Vaca supports on the majority of matters.
