PRACTICE AREAS
We advise companies on strategic tax management, providing solutions that combine prevention, tax efficiency, and technical support in administrative or judicial disputes.
Specialized advisory in corporate taxation
CPDMA’s tax practice advises companies on fiscal matters that affect operations and results—from interpreting regulations to structuring complex transactions. Its scope includes sophisticated tax advisory, administrative and judicial tax disputes, tax transactions, and international taxation, providing technical solutions to strategic challenges. We work on tax planning, corporate reorganizations, assessment of tax impacts, and litigation defense, always with technical rigor and an integrated approach to ensure legal certainty and tax efficiency.
Practices
TAX CREDITS & CASH RECOVERY
Recovery and monetization of tax credits
This includes reviewing unutilized credits, identifying undue payments, and implementing measures to monetize them as financial credits, ensuring legal compliance and procedural efficiency. It also covers the analysis of opportunities in direct and indirect taxes, assessing how to realize those credits across different tax spheres.
ADMINISTRATIVE TAX PROCEEDINGS
Defense in tax assessments and administrative disputes.
We prepare defenses, appeals, and oral arguments before tax authorities, with strategies focused on technical merit and the correction of improper assessments, grounded in legal rigor and transparency. Our work includes disputes involving VAT-type state taxes (ICMS), municipal service tax (ISS), and contributions, with a consistent track record in this field.
JUDICIAL TAX LITIGATION
Representation in tax disputes before the courts.
Our work includes actions such as refund of unduly paid taxes, annulment of tax assessments, writs of mandamus, declaratory and injunctive relief, conducted with technical rigor to mitigate risks and protect assets. We have notable experience in strategic litigation, including before higher courts and the CARF.
TAX PLANNING
Tax structuring for businesses and transactions.
We provide advisory services for company formation, corporate reorganizations, and project structuring, with emphasis on tax efficiency and legal compliance. Our strategies are aligned with current legislation and best-practice governance standards.
TAX EFFECTS & IMPACT ANALYSIS
Analysis of tax impacts in corporate transactions.
We conduct thorough evaluations of tax effects in mergers, spin-offs, incorporations, and other corporate restructurings, ensuring legal compliance and reducing contingencies. Our work includes detailed diagnostics to identify risks and tax opportunities, providing regulatory adherence and strategic support for corporate decision-making.
