INTERNATIONAL TAX PLANNING

International tax planning is a vital ingredient to both high net worth individuals and corporate entities as it is generally the case that the driving force behind any international structure is tax. Entrepreneurs realise that there are many ways to structure international transactions and appreciate that it is important to establish the right vehicle, be it an offshore company, trust or combination of the two, in the right jurisdiction, whether it be in a tax free or low tax jurisdiction, and having regard to the reputation of the jurisdiction concerned, the relationship of cooperation provisions of that jurisdiction with Revenue authorities and in some cases the double taxation treaties in force.

For the High Net Worth Individual the planning exercise might encompass:-

Ø      Coming to the UK. Non-domiciled individuals can benefit from tax advantages if their affairs are properly structured;

Ø      Leaving the UK with a view to mitigating or avoiding income tax and capital gains tax;

Ø      The acquisition of property in the UK by foreign nationals;

Ø      The acquisition of property abroad by UK nationals;

Ø      The establishment of trusts both in the UK and overseas;

Ø      Inheritance tax planning.

For the Corporate Entity the planning exercise might encompass:-

Ø      International trading arrangements;

Ø      International holding company structures;

Ø      Structuring for intellectual property and licensing;

Ø      E-commerce structures;

Ø      Foreign mergers or acquisitions.
