International Tax and Structuring
Structuring is both an art and a science – this is our specialist area of expertise. How you structure your business is a critical imperative as you grow, particularly as you enter new jurisdictions. The right structure will protect your assets, improve your currency position, support your business operations, facilitate future business expansion or shareholding changes, minimise exchange control restrictions, and optimise your overall tax rate.
Trying to unscramble a sub-optimal structure entered into in haste or without full consideration of relevant facts is complex and expensive, so it’s important to plan upfront. We will help you do it once and do it right. We can help you as follows:
- Optimising your global and intermediary holding structures;
- Optimising your treasury and funding structures;
- Planning capital injections and extractions;
- Identifying optimal corporate vehicles and structuring intra-group transactions;
- Optimising global taxes at both group and shareholder level;
- Optimising your structures for both operational tax and tax on exit.
Tax Advisory
We can advise on any taxation issue facing your business in South Africa, Mauritius, and across the African continent, with a focus on cross-border tax issues. Whether you are looking at how best to enter a new jurisdiction, resolving a Revenue audit, optimising your global structure, or reducing your overall tax charge, we can help you.
Our team are specialists in the key international tax areas of double taxation agreements, residence, transfer pricing, controlled foreign companies, expatriate taxation, withholding taxes, and are seasoned in the particular challenges of tax in the African context.
Transfer Pricing
As transfer pricing is becoming more and more integrated with international tax frameworks, we have deep transfer pricing expertise. We consider transfer pricing not as a compliance requirement, but as the critical cornerstone from which to build a successful structure. How your group entities transact with each other is the real structuring question, and this is why any successful international structure must be under-pinned by an optimised transfer pricing framework.
A core part of today’s international tax environment is transfer pricing. This is typically the key area of focus for tax authorities globally, with complex and rapidly changing rules and documentation requirements. We can help you navigate the minefield that is transfer pricing in Africa, we offer the full suite of transfer pricing services, including:
- Providing transfer pricing strategic advice, planning, and policy drafting
