International Tax Havens

Managing the risks, identifying the opportunities. Global growth opportunities have changed where and how companies conduct business – presenting both new sources of revenue and new challenges and risks.

Reducing tax burden, while minimizing associated risk, is a significant factor in the bottom-line success of global operations. International tax is ever-changing, with complex rules, evolving regulations, and a need for local focus. Drawing on resources from an experienced partner that has setup over 2000 international companies in 17 countries gives you an edge like no other, Accounting & Business Solutions International Tax Services team provides the perspective and experience necessary to prosper in new markets.

Navigating these shark infested waters is usually enough of a deterent for most Directors. The setup is only the first obstacle, managing the paper trail to make sure you are compliant with local tax and reserve bank requirements is a completly different animal. Due to the IRS not being able to do much, they rely on the tax payers and accountants to make mistakes and allow them to swoop in and disalow all international transactions. Every detail must be checked and checked again to guarantee compliance. But the end result is well worth it. As an example Mauritius has an effective tax rate of 15% with a 14% rebate. This translates to a 1% Tax Rate on all Company profits.

Our focus areas offer unique international tax services that help increase cash flow and/or decrease effective tax rates. We ensure compliance with the most recent tax laws and shield against the many risks inherent in international businesses. We provide four distinct areas of service to our clients:

Inbound and Outbound Planning, Access to International Desks, Risk Management and Compliance and Global Tax Outsourcing

Profit Shifting & Base Erosion

We have developed a 15-point action plan to shape “fair, effective and efficient tax systems.” Our project regarding base erosion and profit shifting has addressed issues arising from tax planning strategies that exploit gaps or mismatches in member countries’ tax rules.

In an increasingly interconnected world, national tax laws have not always kept pace with global corporations, fluid movement of capital, and the rise of the digital economy, leaving gaps and mismatches that can be exploited to generate double non-taxation. This undermines the fairness and integrity of tax systems.

Base Erosion and Profit Shifting refers to tax planning strategies that exploit these gaps and mismatches in tax rules to artificially shift profits to low or no-tax locations where there is little or no economic activity, resulting in little or no overall corporate tax being paid. BEPS is of major significance for developing countries due to their heavy reliance on corporate income tax, particularly from multinational enterprises (MNEs).
