As global supply chains continue to evolve, organizations face mounting pressure from tariffs, regulatory changes and shifting market conditions. Decisions around where to manufacture, distribute and invest are no longer purely operational; they carry complex tax implications that can significantly affect business performance. With growing interest in nearshoring and expansion into Latin America, companies are navigating new complexities around local tax regimes, transaction taxes and cross-border structuring.
In this webinar, RSM professionals from the U.S. and Germany, including the national leader of RSM US LLP's Mexico and Latin America practice, will explore how companies are adapting their supply chains and what tax leaders need to know, including business model changes, tariff mitigation strategies and key considerations for entering or exiting new markets.
Key Takeaways
- Supply chain decisions now require cross‑functional tax visibility. Tariffs, transfer pricing, indirect taxes, ESG requirements, and customer preferences are deeply interconnected, making early collaboration between tax, finance, and operations critical to avoiding costly downstream impacts.
- Resilience is driven by flexibility—not just cost reduction. Companies are prioritizing nearshoring, diversification, and scenario planning to respond to geopolitical risks, tariff volatility, and regulatory change, rather than optimizing solely for labor or production costs.
- Emerging markets like Mexico and Latin America continue to present opportunity—with complexity. Growth and resiliency benefits can be significant, but success depends on careful planning around customs, trade agreements, transfer pricing, and local compliance requirements.
