The International Tax and Transaction Services (ITTS) practice is comprised of three competencies focused on advising corporate and private equity clients on all aspects of their capital agenda – Transaction Tax Advisory, International Corporate Tax Advisory and Transfer Pricing.   ITTS is unique in that it is a joint venture between the Transaction Advisory Services and Tax service lines, allowing ITTS to maximize market opportunities as well as the growth and development of ITTS professionals.  The transactions market is a major part of EY’s market strategy and a huge opportunity for both the business and EY professionals. 

The Transaction Tax Advisory (“TTA”) competency is comprised of teams focused on the tax aspects of the client’s capital agenda.  We have dedicated professionals focused on buy-side due diligence, structuring and cash tax modeling; sell-side tax assistance, structuring and cash tax modeling; internal restructuring; capital structure and refinancing; distressed debt and bankruptcy; and tax attribute calculations and monetization strategies.  The International Corporate Tax Advisory competency (ICTA) is responsible for advising clients on international tax operations, including cross-border controversy, international policy advisory, international tax quantitative services, internal restructuring and refinancing.  The Transfer Pricing (TP) competency addresses planning, documentation and controversy issues associated with all types of intercompany transactions, assisting companies with supply chain matters, with a focus on intangible property and helping companies accurately reflect and monitor their transfer pricing in their financial systems.   With so many service offerings, you will have the opportunity to participate in cross-competency trainings to help develop your career through a broad scope of engagements, mentoring and formal learning.   

The coordinated go-to market and service approach of ICTA and TTA is unmatched in the market.  It will offer you significant learning and development within the transaction landscape as well as international cross-border transactions.  Our mission is to develop the strongest technicians, commercial market-facing tax professionals and subject-matter resources who will be viewed by clients as trusted advisors.
