International tax

Dealing with the tax authorities in one country can be difficult enough. But when your business expands internationally the problems can multiply. Our International Tax Group has extensive experience of helping clients through this minefield and adding value along the way.

We think creatively to devise and implement a tax-efficient strategy within an ever-changing tax, legal and regulatory landscape. We can call on and coordinate the skills of a variety of experts across the jurisdictions from different legal and other professional disciplines to help us deliver and implement solutions.

We can advise multinational clients on a wide range of international tax issues including:

• Cross-border mergers and acquisitions • Inward investment and overseas expansion • Holding company structures and re-organisations • International sales channels • Transfer pricing and cross-border financing • Intellectual property planning and tax incentives (patent or innovation box, research and development credits) • Internationally mobile employees • VAT, Customs Duties and EU tax • Tax Reporting rules including FATCA, CRS and DAC6

For our clients, tax is not only a financial and legal issue, but increasingly a reputational one. Our team can also help to resolve tax authority investigations, arbitrations and disputes in multiple jurisdictions and have extensive experience in assisting with international and national disputes.
