Taxand Philippines is Salvador & Associates. We were established in 2003 by experts in tax and commercial law. In the short time we have been in existence, we have already been recognised as one of the leading firms engaged in tax practice in the Philippines. Our tax practice encompasses tax advisory and tax planning services, and tax advocacy and litigation, most of which are rendered to various multinational and top 500 companies in the Philippines.

In addition to our five partners, we have eight senior associates and nine junior associates, all of whom are highly qualified in the areas of taxation and commercial law.

Our tax practice includes tax advisory and planning, tax compliance, family wealth planning, and compensation planning, among others. Our tax advocacy practice includes the handling of tax audit and investigations and claims for refund of overpaid national and local taxes, including input value-added taxes.

Although we are relatively new, our tax cases alone already number close to 200 and involve billions of pesos. We represent our clients before various government agencies, such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), the Department of Finance and the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) as well as with the various courts in the Philippines, such as Regional Trial Courts, the Court of Tax Appeals, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court.

Taxanders share, and are committed to, a common approach for clients.
