Navigate complex cross-border tax rules with clarity and confidence.

We support you in managing treaty positions, global risks, and evolving international tax reforms.

Cross-Border Tax Risk Assessment

Cross-border tax rules determine where a company is taxed, when it creates taxable presence, and how profits are allocated. Companies need risk assessments during expansion, restructuring, supply-chain changes, and when entering new markets.

What we do:

• Assess PE risks, tax residency, nexus, and cross-border structuring implications.
• Analyse compliance with domestic laws, treaties, and OECD guidance.
• Provide recommendations for risk mitigation and operational alignment.

Our experience:

• Permanent establishment, withholding tax and tax residency risk assessment.
• Supporting expansions into Europe, the US, India, and Asia.

Tax Treaty & Withholding Tax (WHT) Advisory

Companies rely on treaties to reduce excessive withholding taxes on dividends, royalties, interest, and services. WHT advisory is needed for cross-border payments, new contracts, repatriation planning, and audit defence.

What we do:

• Determine treaty eligibility, documentation needs, and applicable relief.
• Advise on WHT optimisation, refunds, and compliance with domestic rules and MLI changes.
• Support classification, characterisation, and taxability of payments.

Our Experience:

• Advising global groups on WHT positions across Europe, India, the US, Canada, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
• Setting up in-house withholding tax tools and processes for groups with global operations, including establishing dedicated WHT teams and supporting commercial and sales teams with practical guidance.
