International Tax

With the new frontiers in international business and increasing emphasis on globalisation, it is becoming necessary for both corporate entities and individuals to trade, work, understand and interact on a global basis. Subsequently one of the major considerations in a decision with international business emphasis is taxation.

There are key questions to ask as you seek to do international business.

Will you have to pay tax?
Where will you pay the tax?
Who do you pay it to?
Are there any reliefs available?
What trading vehicle should be used?
What financing mix will be more tax efficient?

As many of these questions remains bothering you, our team at Kaxton are able to give you clear advice which will encompass the following:

transfer pricing issues
setting up of a foreign branch or subsidiary
foreign tax legislation
double taxation agreements
tax efficient funding and extraction of profits

In carrying out our international tax planning, we also recognise that there are other factors involved besides tax. We rarely make recommendations purely for tax savings. It is essential that any recommendations fit into an overall commercial strategy, taking account of decisions that may be made as a consequence, for example borrowing or investing decisions or personal decisions relating to other family members. So we always make sure we take into account your priorities and needs in areas other than tax in order to ensure that the tax planning advice is the most appropriate for your individual needs at any given time.

To ascertain if we can find you any international tax savings, or help with your international tax planning, contact a member of our international tax team.
