Business leader: international tax strategy and tax return

A tax that goes beyond company boundaries

For an international operator, personal taxation cannot be dissociated from that of his company. Development abroad, revenue collection in several states, international mobility, ownership of participations or group structure: each decision is likely to have tax consequences in several jurisdictions.

The tax return is thus the culmination of a strategic reflection integrating French tax law, international tax treaties and the rules applicable in the States concerned. A comprehensive approach ensures consistency between the organization of the group, the personal situation of the leader and the resulting reporting obligations.

Structure the CEO's taxation in an international context

The firm assists managers, partners and shareholders in defining a tax strategy adapted to their cross-border activities.

The analysis covers, inter alia, remuneration arrangements, dividends, management packages, securities transactions, holding companies, intra-group flows, international investments and the impact of the head's tax residence. Each situation is assessed in the light of the applicable tax treaties in order to anticipate the risks of double taxation and to secure the envisaged transactions.

This approach is consistent with a strategic advice approach, taking into account both the company's development objectives and the management of the leader's heritage.

Secure reporting obligations

The tax return must accurately reflect the income received in France and abroad, the interests held, the accounts opened outside France and the international transactions carried out during the year.

The firm analyses and prepares management's international tax declarations by ensuring their compliance with French rules and international reporting obligations, in an environment marked by the strengthening of automatic exchange of information between tax administrations.

Strategic and defence advice in case of control

The accompaniment of the firm extends beyond the reporting obligations. It assists managers in securing their tax choices, reorganization operations, international mobility and cross-border investment.

When the tax administration initiates control or challenges an international structuring, the firm also defends its clients in order to safeguard their interests in the context of international control procedures and tax litigation.
