International Tax

Multinational companies must deal with different tax systems, which complicates decision-making but also provides important tax-planning opportunities.

• What is the right corporate and management structure for a multinational group?
• What jurisdiction should be chosen for the establishment of a holding company for IPO or for a private placement?
• How should financing of operations in various countries be conducted?
• What is the tax-efficient structure for the acquisition of an operation abroad?
• How to structure foreign operations in a tax efficient manner to reduce the group's overall effective tax rate?
• How to deal with the regulatory requirements that exist in entering Kazakhstan, so as to enable business to focus on the commercial aspects?

These fundamental decisions can have a critical impact on a multinational’s tax risk profile, global effective tax rate and cash tax exposure. What’s more, in-house tax professionals are often challenged on many fronts simultaneously and are faced with shorter decision time frames.
