Strategic International & Cross-Border Advisory

Cross-border growth brings practical questions long before the paperwork catches up. A new market can change where profits are taxed, what must be filed and how transactions are treated by local authorities. Rules shift across jurisdictions and they don’t always line up, which can leave businesses exposed to withholding taxes, duplicate reporting or disputes around where value is created. Strong outcomes come from decisions that combine tax, regulatory positioning and how the business actually operates day to day.

This is where international tax advisory services, cross-border advisory services and international business advisory fit in. Work is approached as joined-up planning, not separate “tax” and “business” workstreams. Structures are designed to remain workable as teams expand, contracts change and capital needs evolve.

Common triggers for cross-border advisory

Entering a new country with sales, people or inventory
Setting up a holding structure across jurisdictions
Intercompany charges that need transfer pricing documentation
Dividend planning and cross-border cash movement
Overseas assignments and global mobility tax exposure
Treaty relief claims and permanent establishment risk reviews

International Business Structuring & Tax Optimisation

Expansion plans tend to be commercial first: where customers are, where teams sit and what the revenue model looks like. The structure has to reflect that reality. Cross-border business structuring and cross-border tax optimisation support covers market entry routes, entity decisions and the operating model that links functions, risks and decision-making.

What gets covered

Market entry planning and expansion routes
Entity setup across jurisdictions (branch/subsidiary choices where relevant)
Operating and holding models that match substance and governance
Risk management and regulatory alignment
Intercompany agreement framework tied to the operating model

Outputs you can expect

Structuring choice	Why it matters	Where problems show up if ignored
Holding location	Treaty access and dividend flows	Withholding leakage
Where people sit	PE and local tax exposure	Unexpected registrations
IP placement and control	Royalties and value attribution	Transfer pricing disputes
Service charging model	Profit allocation	Documentation gaps

Transfer Pricing Advisory & Documentation

Transfer pricing becomes a live issue as soon as entities trade with each other: services, IP licences, goods, cost sharing and financing. Authorities look for consistency between the story, the numbers and the documentation. Transfer pricing advisory services and transfer pricing documentation support is built around intercompany reality, not generic policy language.

Scope covered

Related-party and intercompany transaction reviews
Policy design that aligns with international transfer pricing guidelines
Economic benchmarking and method selection
Documentation packs built for reviews and enquiries
Support for audit questions and information requests

Typical documentation components

Royalties	Ownership and use	Licence terms and support
Distribution	Tested party and comparables	Margin support
Intercompany funding	Terms and pricing	Agreements and rationale

Cross-Border Repatriation & Remittance Planning

FAQs – International & Cross-Border Advisory

How do you support international business expansion?

Support is provided across market entry planning, cross-border business structuring, compliance mapping and documentation that stays consistent across jurisdictions.

What is transfer pricing and who requires it?

Transfer pricing sets how related entities price intercompany transactions. It is required when group entities transact with each other and local rules expect support for pricing and documentation.

How can profits be repatriated efficiently across borders?

Routes are assessed based on withholding tax, treaty positions, local approvals, reporting obligations and timing. Cross-border repatriation planning aligns cash needs with compliance requirements.

Do you advise expatriates on international tax obligations?

Yes. Expatriate tax services cover residency exposure, filing positions, payroll coordination support and assignment-related planning.

How do double tax treaties help reduce global tax exposure?

Treaties can reduce withholding and provide mechanisms to limit double taxation. Double tax treaty advisory services focus on eligibility, benefit analysis and support for relief claims.
