Maintaining an efficient tax rate keeps multinational companies competitive in an increasingly intricate global economy. Under-managed compliance and tax planning can be a drag on liquidity and expose companies to risk.

A&M International Tax services can help companies improve compliance, seize opportunities, and mitigate pitfalls by assisting them in creating an efficient tax profile that spans multiple jurisdictions. 

What Are the Benefits of an Efficient International Tax Strategy?

International tax planning and strategy can drive significant value for companies by reducing costs, improving cash flow, and maximizing profits, so you can stay a step ahead of the competition, no matter where your business operates.

A poorly designed tax structure can trap cash all around the globe. Finding opportunities for liquidity can improve cash flow where and when you need it.

As the landscape of international tax changes, so should your tax strategy. It requires knowledge and expertise to design and maintain an efficient tax profile. A&M can provide that so your company can concentrate on creating value.

How A&M Can Help 

As part of the comprehensive international tax strategy process, we can assist with an overall plan to meet your global tax obligations efficiently. Some of our international tax services include:

Inbound and Outbound Tax Planning and Strategy

Companies operating in or entering countries around the world must understand the tax implications of their commercial strategies in every location where they do business. Managing an effective tax rate is crucial to maintaining competitiveness. Whether that includes tax issues arising from mergers and acquisitions, foreign tax credits and duties, or restructuring debt, A&M can identify tax savings opportunities to help companies reach their goals.

Similarly, foreign-based multinational corporations considering expanding in the U.S. must understand the complexity of the tax code as it exists today and in anticipation of constant changes. A&M can help you navigate the intricacies of the U.S. tax code.

International M&A 

Global transactions, including M&A and divestitures, create potential tax risks as well as opportunities. Companies need to understand and manage the various tax, regulatory, and compliance issues prior to and after the transaction.

A&M provides due diligence and post-merger integration analysis to appropriately assess the tax challenges you could face. We help our Clients anticipate tax synergies and pitfalls that can be the determining factor in whether the transaction is a good deal or a no-deal. 

Repatriation and Foreign Tax Credit Planning

Changing tax codes can frustrate multinational corporations needing to repatriate cash from foreign operations. The tax implications can be significant. Tax reform in the U.S. prompted companies doing business internationally to rethink their tax credit planning, shifting from keeping profits offshore to new strategies that compensate for immediate taxation of those profits and a wildly more complex foreign tax credit system. 

A&M has the expertise and knowledge to help Clients determine their best options and repatriation planning can affect the overall tax strategy. 

Supply Chain Implementation

In today’s world, companies have had to reassess their end-to-end supply chain, triggering new tax implications that can erode return on investment. Shifts in global strategies have impacted portions of the supply chain, and with the changes come new labor markets, business models, functions, and sourcing locations.

A&M helps to analyze the optimal strategies for transfer pricing, transactions, the flow of goods in new geographies and the impact on customs and other taxes. 

International Compliance and Provision Support

As tax law has grown more complex, tax compliance obligations have followed closely behind. Reporting on international activities has, for many multinationals, become the single most detailed component of their tax return, requiring substantially more detail and disclosures than in prior years.

A&M can help you stay ahead of the complexity and ensure proper compliance without the headache. Proper compliance—knowing where attributes sit and where tax leakage occurs--can unlock the tools and avenues to effectuate value-add tax strategies.
