FS Tax Special Fund Compliance

Special funds are popular with institutional investors, but their taxation is highly complex. At KPMG, we have the necessary experience, technology and ideas to provide you with the appropriate and relevant services. After all, the management of special funds has always been our core business – and will always remain so.

We offer you security in a still dynamically changing legal framework as well as amidst new and more complex processes. Be it through quality assurance of the taxation bases, processes and controls determined by you as an investment company. Or by taking over entire areas of responsibility as a so-called managed service.

We have taken the investment tax reform as an opportunity to further develop our methodological approach and also to reorganise it from a technical standpoint.

• Our services do not begin until the tax return is prepared. We use a risk-oriented approach to check basic calculation processes, tax master data and reporting upstream. This creates a secure basis for quality assurance or the determination of the taxation bases.
• For years, we have relied on the standard software labs.STAR, which has proven itself every day at many investment companies. labs.STAR is optimised precisely for our processes without restricting the necessary flexibility.
• We see the use of data & analytics as an evolution, and we don’t set unrealistic goals. Today, we can already efficiently identify implausibilities and automate audit routines on the basis of the booking and inventory data of special funds. We consistently develop the applications further, together with our clients, who thus gain valuable insights into their own data.
• taXchange is our new service for more efficient exchange of target fund data between investment companies.

However, people are always at the centre of our client relationships. It is our employees who make the difference. Together, we can make better decisions. It’s decision time!
