Multinational corporations cannot achieve global success without strictly following tax signs and warning signals everywhere they operate. This legendary automotive company brings its exacting standards for vehicles to everything it does. That same drive for excellence inspires its behind-the-scenes operations – from the back office to the factory floor.
When the company’s Tax leadership considered how to fine- tune its U.S. Tax function, it asked KPMG’s Tax Reimagined team to conduct a meticulous baseline assessment. Find out how KPMG helped enhance an already strong U.S. Tax function to meet the company's higher global standard.
We examined everything and were able to deliver the framework for U.S. tax operations to match their global standards.
