Excellencein taxation.

HistoryTaxatelier was founded in December 2014 by joining forces between the directors of KDC Chartered Accountants Limited and Neofytos Neofytou (formerly an EY Senior tax partner). KDC Chartered Accountants Limited was established in 2008, offering top quality audit and tax services to a very high profile clientele. Due to the nature of its clientele it was decided to separate the practices of audit and tax and to appoint Neofytos Neofytou as the new Managing Director of the tax firm. This, will ensure firms independency and specialization.

Neofytos Neofytou is one of the most recognized name and respected persons in the tax society with extensive experience as a Senior tax partner in EY.
