The vast amount of tax exper­tise that Man­te­gani brings is great­ly wel­comed by U.S. Tax IQ, as her invalu­able expe­ri­ence will con­tribute to the firm’s pro­fi­cien­cy in trans­fer pric­ing plan­ning and con­tem­po­ra­ne­ous doc­u­men­ta­tion, trans­fer pric­ing audit defense, in addi­tion to U.S. tax and U.S. inter­na­tion­al tax mat­ters affect­ing small to medi­um size busi­ness­es.

The affil­i­a­tion with Man­te­gani Tax PLLC will result in bet­ter tax plan­ning, struc­tur­ing, and com­pli­ance, which will be fur­ther enhanced by the cur­rent knowl­edge of tax laws and eco­nom­ic devel­op­ments; keen finan­cial exper­tise; and expe­ri­ence with cross-bor­der and inter­na­tion­al con­sult­ing and com­pli­ance.

She brings this exper­tise in dis­pute res­o­lu­tion to U.S. Tax IQ, to pro­vide assis­tance to clients that either have expo­sure to or are already exposed to dou­ble tax­a­tion (for exam­ple, due to tax adjust­ments by tax author­i­ties).

In the pri­vate sec­tor, Man­te­gani has worked as a tax advi­sor for both a glob­al law firm and at var­i­ous major account­ing firms. Her work focus­es on pro­vid­ing tax advice to multi­na­tion­al enter­pris­es regard­ing a num­ber of tax­a­tion mat­ters, such as the plan­ning and devel­op­ment of a glob­al trans­fer pric­ing strat­e­gy, con­tem­po­ra­ne­ous doc­u­men­ta­tion and trans­fer pric­ing analy­sis, cost shar­ing agree­ments, glob­al restruc­tur­ing, and treaty-based dis­pute res­o­lu­tion.
