Tax Litigation Services

What EY can do for you

At EY, we represent clients in tax matters¹ before all courts and administrative authorities in Switzerland. Our Swiss-qualified lawyers seamlessly support you from the announcement of a tax audit until an agreement with the tax authorities is found or a court decision has been reached.

• Pre-litigation support: Tax litigation does not start with the legal proceedings. We ensure that positions taken in the discussions with tax authorities and any related correspondence is not disadvantageous for you in a potential tax litigation.
• Tax litigation: To deliver the best outcome for our clients, EY Tax Litigation Services brings together our experienced tax lawyers with our relevant subject matter experts.
