minefield of international taxes.
Setting up trading operations in another country, either through a
branch or a subsidiary company, instantly triggers the need for
first class corporate tax advice and compliance
services in the country concerned.
Having trading operations in several countries brings in additional
dimensions of international tax and the need
for highly specialist advice on tax-efficient structuring and
financing.
The hottest topic currently in international tax is transfer pricing, with the risk that
national tax authorities will impute additional taxable profits to
local subsidiaries in international groups on the grounds that
intra-group pricing is not at arms' length. Protecting a group's
interests calls for co-operation between advisers in different
countries, something which only a major accounting network can
deliver.
The pitfalls of international tax are not confined to taxes which
group companies pay themselves, but extend to indirect taxes, where the burden for the
group is largely one of administration and accountability, and
where heavy penalties can lie in wait for those who do not seek
local guidance.
Many groups trading internationally will have staff working on
assignment away from their home country, raising issues of expatriate tax, with both employer and
employee in need of advice, and the need for assistance with
compliance obligations.
Finally, Baker Tilly International member firms have specialists
who work together in the provision of tax services for private clients where the individual's
need is for help in coping with the tax laws of more than one
country and for advice on protecting internationally located assets
and on enhancing their value.
