Strategic Tax Advice for Businesses and Individuals

LOVILL’s Tax Practice offers comprehensive advisory and representation services for corporations, investors, and family offices operating in Panama and across Latin America.

We assist clients in structuring cross-border transactions, mergers, and acquisitions, advising on the tax implications of share transfers, corporate reorganizations, and asset sales.

Our lawyers also guide companies operating under Panama’s special economic regimes, such as Panama Pacifico, Multinational Company Headquarters (SEM), City of Knowledge, and Free Zones, helping them access exemptions and incentives available under these frameworks.

Beyond transactional support, we represent clients before the General Directorate of Revenue (DGI) and the Tax Administrative Court, handling audits, administrative appeals, and litigation.

Our integrated approach combines legal precision with commercial awareness, allowing us to design tax strategies that safeguard our clients’ interests while fostering long-term growth and compliance.

From routine filings to high-stakes tax disputes, LOVILL’s team delivers solutions that are as strategic as they are compliant, trusted by leading corporations and investors across sectors such as infrastructure, finance, logistics, and real estate.
