We are a team of highly skilled and effective tax subject matter experts that deliver to the tax needs of the business divisions and group functions.

As tax legislation is constantly changing, we stay at the forefront of those developments to ensure we provide appropriate tax guidance that takes account of those developments and responsible for a sustainable control environment.
