In the latest episode of Taxing Times with ITR, Editor Tom Baker and Senior Reporter Sam Sholli delve into Ryan's headline acquisition of European tax firm Svalner Atlas, and consider how transformational the buyout could be in Ryan's quest for global advisory reach.

Tom and Sam also explore a surge in private client tax advisory work and what is driving demand across the market. The discussion considers how firms are responding to increasingly complex cross-border needs, and how those unequipped to capitalise on the demand risk leaving money on the table. 

Finally, the episode examines the recent "common understanding" that allows jurisdictions to waive penalties for late pillar two filings due to a lack of available portals. 

We hope you enjoy listening.
