Energy & Infrastructure Tax
Countries are more and more using taxes to steer companies towards the energy (and related infrastructure) transition. This leads to an increasing number of (complex) tax rules, incentives and measures, which can have a material financial impact on the business case of your Energy & Infrastructure project or transaction.
