We assist governments and public administrations in the definition of efficient sectorial tax policies (especially for the oil, gas and mining sectors) through a meticulous understanding of industry benchmarks and comprehensive analyses of existing alternatives. Our action, in such cases, aims at optimising public tax revenue as well as maintaining the global country attractiveness vis à vis international investors.
