      The complexity of tax law at national and international level is also posing increasing challenges for the public sector. Global solutions are often required. The Global Public Sector Tax Group is a network of KPMG experts from several KPMG member firms. The team advises companies and organisations in the public sector on national and international tax issues.


      We advise institutions in the education and healthcare sectors as well as non-profit organisations worldwide. Working with our clients in the public sector is a real privilege. That's why we look forward to constantly expanding our collaboration and services. To this end, we work with multinational teams within the KPMG network that focus on providing tax advice to a globalised public sector.
