      Turning responsible tax into real-world impact

      Across jurisdictions and industries, tax continues to rise up the corporate agenda. Facing growing pressure to balance commercial priorities with public expectations, the challenge is no longer limited to compliance — it’s about transparency, consistency and fostering societal values.

      Meeting that challenge requires more than technical expertise. It demands open dialogue, sound governance and a clear connection between ethical strategy and long-term value. For forward-looking leaders, the road to real-world change starts with responsible tax.

      Guided by our Global Tax Principles and underpinned by our Global Quality Framework, we deliver a range of tax compliance and consulting services aligning to our own responsible tax principles.

      Amplifying this vision is the KPMG Global Responsible Tax Program, which mobilizes diverse perspectives to inspire confidence and empower change. Together we are sparking the conversation to shape a fairer, more transparent global tax system.


      What we do

      We believe responsible tax is an evolving conversation. Through roundtable discussions, articles and our Global Tax Policy Leadership Team, the KPMG Global Responsible Tax Program shapes inclusive dialogue across advanced and emerging economies, directed by three core pillars.

      Principles for a responsible tax practice

      From digital and environmental taxation to the societal impacts of tax — via corporate values and ensuring transparency — responsible tax is everyone’s business.

      • Be supported by a valid basis in law
      • Be based on the assumption that all material facts will be known to tax authorities and all relevant disclosure requirements are properly made
      • Be tailored to the particular circumstances of our clients, address any requirements of substance and purpose, and consider the intention of the legislators
      • Clearly explain the technical merits and sustainability of relevant options available to our clients
      • Consider any reputational risk and the impact on stakeholders and communities where these are practical to assess

      We require all KPMG people to act lawfully and with integrity in dealing with tax authorities and our clients and we aim to be fully compliant with all relevant requirements.
