Tomasz Wagner strengthens the tax advisory service line at ALTO as a new Partner

Even as summer draws to a close, we can confidently say it has been an exceptionally dynamic period at ALTO, marked by numerous changes. In July, we welcomed Tomasz Wagner as a Partner. Tomasz is a tax advisor with 17 years of professional experience, gained at an international consulting firm.

Tomasz will spearhead the development of our advisory services in the area of indirect taxes and will primarily assist ALTO’s clients with matters related to VAT, including the international trade of goods. Additionally, he will provide expertise on issues where tax and para-tax regulations intersect with sustainability and ESG topics.

„I thrive on tackling advisory challenges in areas subject to tax and legislative changes, particularly those related to environmental and ecological topics. Given my strong focus on the circular economy, I have recently dedicated significant attention to the food production sector, retail/FMCG industry, as well as packaging and recycling. This focus is driven by the upcoming regulations that will soon introduce a deposit return system in Poland, providing a conscious advisor with substantial opportunities to support businesses, extending well beyond tax implications alone.

I believe a good tax advisor also serves as a business consultant, guiding clients through challenges in legislative, compliance, and reporting areas. It is only through comprehensive business care that we become true partners for those responsible for finance and key legal or tax matters within companies.

By joining ALTO, which provides integrated services across various business lines, including tax and ESG, I believe I will be able to fully leverage my expertise to support companies in both of these areas” – comments Tomasz Wagner, Partner & Tax Advisor

Tomasz has extensive experience in tax planning, VAT/cash flow management, and managing tax-related risks. He is also skilled in handling communications and disputes with tax authorities. Tomasz assists clients with VAT registration and compliance, as well as in securing individual tax rulings and binding rate information.

He offers advisory services for a wide range of domestic and international transactions, including intra-community trade, imports, exports, chain transactions, and turnkey projects.

„Tomek’s addition to our team represents a significant step forward in the growth of our company and the strengthening of two key business lines. While indirect taxes have long been part of ALTO’s services, integrating them with environmental issues will enable us to offer products tailored to the needs of modern, conscious businesses. Having firsthand knowledge of Tomek’s expertise, I am confident that he will not only help expand our service portfolio to include the increasingly important area of environmental matters but also enhance our existing solutions with his multidisciplinary approach, drawing on knowledge from various fields” – comments Kamil Lewandowski, Chief Growth Officer.

Many new legislative measures, such as the plastic tax, the SUP directive, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), fall within Tomasz’s expertise and are harmonized at the EU level. Consulting in these areas can be of great importance for companies across various industries.

The concept of a circular economy, which is increasingly relevant for beverage producers, will gradually extend to other manufacturing sectors, especially in light of the growing focus on Extended Producer Responsibility. ALTO clients can rest assured that their advisors will incorporate these considerations, providing them with the confidence needed for planning actions, investments, and making crucial decisions.
