WTS Global is an association of tax consulting companies whose sub-companies operate worldwide. Although WTS Global is based in the Netherlands, the group of companies has German roots. WTS was created in 1999 through the spin-off of the tax department of the Siemens group. Part of the Mannesmann tax department was later merged into WTS. In 2003 the international network WTS Global was founded.
WTS customers include companies of all sizes, including multinational companies and small and medium-sized companies. Private individuals and family offices are also served by WTS. In contrast to the largest tax consultancy firms (namely the Big Four ), WTS does not carry out an audit , but focuses on tax advice.
