Own global tax compliance, corporate income tax (CIT), transfer pricing, and US state/sales/use tax, across all Atari entities in the US, UK, Sweden, Australia, India, Germany, Luxembourg, France, and Canada.
Own indirect tax compliance on digital goods and electronically supplied services across all markets (including EU VAT, UK VAT, Australia GST, India GST, and Canada GST/HST/PST) covering marketplace deemed-supplier rules, platform collection splits (Steam, Nintendo, Apple, Sony, and others), digital services taxes (DSTs), and microtransactions.
Own all external advisor relationships and set the in-house/co-source model across jurisdictions.
Own IP structuring and transfer pricing for Atari's franchises end to end — DEMPE analysis establishing where IP value is developed, held, and remunerated; the resulting intercompany agreements, cost-sharing arrangements, and periodic true-ups; and the cross-border withholding tax consequences of royalty, licensing, and financing flows, including treaty analysis and relief/refund claims.
Identify and maximize global R&D tax credits and video game production incentives across all studio jurisdictions. Manage the full lifecycle from qualification through documentation and claim filing.
Own the ASC 740 tax provision process, including uncertain tax positions (FIN 48), in coordination with external audit, and partner with FP&A on effective tax rate planning and monitoring.
Lead defense of Atari's positions on digital revenue sourcing, nexus, and transfer pricing during US federal, state, and international audits.
Monitor tax legislative and regulatory developments across all operating jurisdictions, including OECD Pillar Two, and advise leadership proactively on impact and required action.
Advise product, business development, and studio teams on tax implications of digital marketplace structures, platform economics, and new commercial arrangements.
Support M&A diligence and integration from a tax perspective as Atari continues to grow through acquisition.
Own the Luxembourg parent-company tax position, including corporate income tax, net wealth tax, the parent-company reporting cycle, and Euronext-listed disclosure obligations, and manage open items from the redomiciliation, including exit/migration tax exposure, treaty access and substance requirements, and confirmation of the go-forward holding and IP-ownership structure.
Own India-specific obligations given the local footprint, including GST, equalization levy / significant economic presence, India withholding tax, and the practical friction around cash repatriation.
Monitor permanent establishment risk arising from distributed and remote teams and traveling executives, and lead cash repatriation planning, foreign tax credit optimization, and functional-currency and FX considerations across the entity chain.
Establish a group tax governance and risk framework appropriate to a listed company, including board- and audit-committee-level tax risk reporting and management of relationships with national tax authorities and local advisors in each jurisdiction.
