TAXATION

Since its early years, Goodrich, Riquelme has been invited by the Tax Ministry to comment on existing tax laws, as well as drafts of proposed laws. We are, therefore, particularly well-versed in governmental policies concerning the implementation and enforcement of tax laws.

As the country toughens its tax laws, Mexican companies retain our sevices to handle specialized projects, including international transactions, and foreign clients seek our in - depth knowledge of Mexican tax laws.

The firm's approach to tax issues is frequently from a transactional perspective. We are generally responsible for assisting the client to negotiate, document and structure commercial transactions as well as manage the tax aspects of these transactions. We guide the client in business transactions, including the sale and purchase of businesses, recapitalization and reorganization of closely-held and publicly-held corporations, joint ventures, and the organization and financing of start-up companies. We handle tax litigation at all judicial and administrative levels and applications for tax rulings. For non-Mexican clients, we are involved in the acquisition, merger and restructuring of foreign-owned interests in Mexico. Our tax attorneys play an active role in national and international tax organizations and forums.
