Media meets Tax

In the media sector, there are a large number of complex tax law issues that require action and advice. The issues are often specialised and require industry-specific expertise. In addition, the media industry is undergoing profound structural change, which is being driven by digitalisation. This development is creating new media formats and business models that are allowing the industry to grow dynamically. We are happy to support you with our specialist and industry expertise in order to master your challenges with a holistic and practical tax consulting approach and are also happy to show you new approaches to solutions.

Our holistic advisory approach is complemented by our connection to the international network of KPMG and KPMG Law*, which enables us to provide you with expert advice on cross-border and legal* issues.
