Tax Efficient Supply Chain Management (TESCM) 

TESCM integrates efficient supply chain design with tax optimization delivering significant increases in profits.

 

TESCM is based on the premise that incorporating the tax factor into supply chain structures (typically by optimizing the geographic location of the key supply chain functions, assets and risks) realizes substantial benefits, sometimes well beyond conventional operational savings on their own. TESCM, being a "substance based" approach, is currently especially topical as tax authorities are challenging traditional tax planning structures and products. At the same time, businesses are changing their operating models in response to the economic downturn and globalization challenges.

What's on your mind?

 

  • Do you want to minimize cash, costs and effective tax rates as well as risks across all tax types?
  • Do you need to drive cost reductions and operational efficiency through your supply chain?
  • Do you need to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the sourcing, manufacturing, sales, distribution and asset strategies by achieving structural supply chain change?
  • Is an effective postmerger or -acquisition integration required, or are you expanding into new markets or new channels?
  • Have there been planned and implemented enterprise-wide information systems?
