Cross-border tax planning starts with understanding where and how a business earns its income.
We advise on the tax consequences of operating, investing and conducting transactions across jurisdictions. This includes considering where activities are performed, where profits arise, how income is taxed and whether a particular structure or transaction creates additional tax or reporting obligations.
The same business activity can produce very different tax consequences depending on how and where it is carried out.
We analyze issues such as corporate residence, permanent establishment risk, withholding taxes, tax treaties and the movement of funds between entities and jurisdictions. For businesses operating through related companies, we also consider intercompany services, management charges, financing and other transactions that may give rise to transfer pricing requirements or additional reporting obligations.
Tax planning also needs to work once the structure is in place, so we help clients implement the intended approach and adjust it as their business, ownership or international operations change.
