Frequently Asked Questions

International tax refers to the set of rules and treaties governing cross-border income, transactions, and entities. It is crucial because it impacts profitability, compliance, and global competitiveness.

Tax treaties aim to prevent double taxation and tax evasion. They allocate taxing rights between countries and provide mechanisms for relief, often reducing withholding taxes on dividends, interest, and royalties.

Residence-based taxation taxes global income of residents, whereas source-based taxation taxes income earned within a country regardless of residency. Most countries use a hybrid system.

Risks include double taxation, penalties for non-compliance, excessive effective tax rates, and increased exposure to audits or disputes with tax authorities.

The Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) framework introduces transparency, reporting requirements, and measures to ensure profits are taxed where economic activity occurs, significantly shaping tax planning strategies.

CFC rules prevent tax deferral by attributing income from foreign subsidiaries to the parent company in high-tax jurisdictions, ensuring tax neutrality.

DSTs target revenue from digital services within a jurisdiction, creating additional compliance burdens and potential double taxation issues for global tech-oriented businesses.

A foreign tax credit allows businesses to offset taxes paid to another country against domestic tax liabilities, preventing double taxation but subject to specific limitations.

The selection between a branch, subsidiary, partnership, or hybrid entity can drastically change tax treatment, liability, and repatriation of profits.

Strategies include treaty planning, transfer pricing alignment, tax-efficient supply chains, and leveraging jurisdictions with favorable regimes.
