Canadian companies are expanding into international markets at an ever-increasing pace. Once the realm of only the largest multinational corporations, today, small and medium-sized companies frequently have international activities. Sometimes, insufficient attention is paid to tax consequences of international expansion and the opportunities for a tax-effective international structure are not pursued.

We can analyze a business structure with international dealings to determine whether it has been arranged advantageously and assist in restructuring it, if necessary. We also assist with the complex compliance requirements necessary for Canadian tax-filing purposes. Finally, we can advise on favourable jurisdictions.

At the same time, we analyze the tax position of the company’s shareholders to determine how an international structure could be of benefit at the personal level.

With working experience in over 40 countries and the resources of our ITSG network, we are well positioned to advise on how to make the structure tax effective.
