PPO Indacochea

Administrative proceedings and litigation are core focus areas for PPO Indacochea‘s tax team, which remains a go-to choice for clients seeking representation in disputes with the tax regulator and the Bolivian State – particularly as regards claims concerning the rejection of tax credits and the design of appeals’ strategies. It also excels in representing clients in government tax audits and investigations, and further stands out for its advice on tax planning linked to corporate formation and company reorganisations. Moreover, the group continues to expand its services offering, which additionally includes tax accounting, outsourcing and audit services and has a growing focus on digital economy taxation, wealth management and the constitutional analysis of tax rules. The team demonstrates prowess in the design of tax structures and advice on the tax aspects of corporate and financial transactions, as well as international trade and customs matters. With a growing roster of national and international clients that spans various sectors, the team also specialises in tax advice in the energy and natural resources, aeronautics and international transport industries. Tax specialist Pablo Ordoñez has particular experience in the international commodities and oil and gas industries; while Candys Dorado has expert knowledge of tax regulation (based on extensive public sector experience), and also advises clients on customs law. Since July 2024, clients have additionally been able to draw on the expertise of Jose Luis Tufiño, who focuses on international and domestic taxation, tax planning and tax litigation (including tax litigation on appeal). This followed earlier consolidation of the department in September 2023 when Alexandra Ortíz was promoted to associate practice director; thanks to her expertise in international tax planning, she is a go-to advisor for foreign investors. At senior associate level, Miguel Ángel Gumucio centres his practice on tax administration matters, including tax audits and enforcement; Dolly Salazar plays a lead role in the firm’s tax litigation work, representing clients before the tax administration and advising on the resolution of appeals; and Adrian Bellot also represents clients in administrative and judicial proceedings before various governmental authorities and courts.
