Tax planning and advisory

Companies operating in the natural resources sector often have complex cross-border structures and employees who spend long periods of time overseas. It is becoming increasingly important for companies to ensure that, not only, do they minimise their exposure to costly tax regimes through effective planning but also to ensure that they incentivise key employees in the most tax efficient way.

Our corporate tax specialists have advised companies on:

  • Obtaining Controlled Foreign Company clearance from HMRC to protect overseas profits,
  • On restructuring UK and international groups to ensure that cross-border tax treaties are maximised and effective tax rates are minimised,
  • Transfer pricing issues for the provision of cross-border services, and
  • Assisted companies in performing tax due diligence on targets.

Our employee tax specialists have advised companies on putting into place various types of incentive plans which are specifically designed to meet the needs of the business whether this is to attract, retain or incentivise key employees. Our expat team can help manage and plan around, the sometimes seemingly complex tax and social security issues facing employees and Directors working overseas. Our Expat News Letter contains more information on issues in this areas affecting employees and employers.
