Business is now conducted in an increasingly complex and evolving international tax environment, with many organisations and their subsidiaries operating across multiple jurisdictions.

While expanding a geographical footprint is synonymous with improved scale and competitiveness, and increased profitability, it also presents a number of challenges.

Appropriate and effective tax structuring is one of the most common – and misunderstood – challenges for businesses with global operations.

With a greater focus in many countries on base erosion and profit-shifting (BEPS) in particular, it is more vital than ever to engage a tax specialist who will deliver well-considered and timely advice.

How we help clients

HLB Mann Judd’s international tax specialists advise corporate and private businesses on effective approaches for both inbound and outbound investments and operations.
