Tax Advice

At Devesa we offer a comprehensive tax advice service for companies, both proactively and planned. We work with businesses throughout Spain from our offices in Alicante, Madrid and Valencia. The ultimate goal of this tax advice service is to provide the client with added value and procure the lowest fiscal risks possible for them.

Prior to each transaction and the close of the financial year we perform a study to reduce the company’s fiscal cost, making the most of incentives and alternatives permitted by law in order to do so.
