Resumen
As never before, the concepts of tax planning, corporate governance and sustainability are having a close relation. Despite the fact that governments have tackled tax avoidance schemes, the director´s duty of care still obliges them to seek the best tax optimization for the Company they manage. In that sense, developing sustainable tax strategies that comply with transparent post-BEPS policies should could be considered as a standard of good corporate tax governance in today’s entrepreneurial world.
