EY Law Central America

EY Law Central America draws upon a network and status as a global accountancy firm to advise well-known businesses and financial institutions a range of cross-border tax issues such as tax planning, and tax analysis, as well as tax audits and corporate tax advice on free trade zones, and other tax regime matters. Notably, team members regularly represent clients involved in audits and tax litigation before the Salvadoran Tax Authority, partially due to Héctor Mancía’s experience of the Salvadoran tax system. Mancía is the lawyer who spearheads the team, offering experience as a former employee at the Ministry of Finance. Senior manager Carlos Gaitán brings core strengths in administrative disputes, often appearing before the Supreme Court and a range of administrative courts. Associate Douglas Morales appeals before the Administrative Board of Appeal, and handles tax assessment procedures before a range of judicial courts, an area in which the wider group is heavily engaged.
