International Corporate Tax Services

Managing complex transactions with international knowledge is crucial as boundaries that separate one jurisdiction from another become less distinct.

Key questions often raised by global businesses include:

• How should I hold and fund my international activities?
• How do I manage my withholding tax risk?
• Do my key functions and business risks need to align with my organisation structure?
• Where should I locate my key functions?
• Where should I locate my decision makers?
• Where should I locate my intangibles?
• How do I manage any physical presence in foreign jurisdictions?
• How do I secure protection under a double tax treaty network?
• How do I manage the pitfalls of anti-avoidance rules and regulations?

Through pursuing an in-depth understanding of our clients' businesses and industries, the ICT practice aims to deliver international corporate tax services that are relevant and specific to our clients' global operations.
