International Tax Strategy in the Global Marketplace is Complicated -- Let Us Guide You Forward
Navigating global operations and international expansion can be complex and requires multinational companies to have a strong cross-border tax strategy focused on tax minimization, business structure, mergers and acquisitions, proactive tax planning, and regulatory compliance.
Doing business globally creates opportunities, but it also carries numerous challenges. When you decide to conduct business internationally, many decisions impact the amount of taxes your business pays, such as:
- Where you carry on activities?
- Do you need to form a legal entity?
- How do you finance operations and/or who conducts which activities?
- Where to locate Intellectual Property?
- How to structure a transaction to minimize foreign taxes?
- What are the reporting requirements for a United States company doing business in a foreign country?
- What are the reporting requirements for a foreign company doing business in the United States?
When your business crosses international borders you need to understand and comply with tax laws and regulations wherever you have activities. As tax authorities around the world are focused on increasing the amount of tax they collect in an effort to reduce government deficits, the challenge of keeping up-to-date and compliant is getting harder. As a result, many businesses find they need support and advice on a wide range of tax matters.
