The tax consulting office ICON is specialized in finding reliable solutions for international tax questions with relation to Austria (expatriates, payroll, permanent establishments, corporate structure, company formation, transfer pricing). More than the half of the ICON tax experts worked for companies earlier. So ICON has experience how companies can administer solutions for tax problems and how firms can implement processes for doing business according to the tax laws. Many of the clients of ICON are international industry and manufacturing companies as well as tax advisors from Austria and other countries, who consult ICON regarding international tax questions.

The relation between both tax consulting offices exists with Markus Krinninger and ICON partner Stefan Bendlinger, who have held together seminars about the taxation of permanent establishments for many years.
