As your business expands across borders, robust international tax planning becomes vital to managing your global tax exposure. It’s not just about understanding UK tax legislation, you’ll also need an adviser who is well-versed in international tax frameworks to avoid the risk of being taxed twice on the same income.
Key considerations include the structure of your corporate group and the method of establishing overseas operations, such as subsidiaries. Implementing a sound transfer pricing policy is equally critical to support intercompany transactions effectively.
International tax solutions for companies and groups
Operating within the UK already involves navigating a notoriously complex tax and compliance environment, and adding international operations increases the complexity.
