Tax support and tax planning
International tax planning and advisory for digital businesses operating across borders — structuring, compliance, and tax optimisation across the EU, MENA, the US, and the UK.
What our clients face
Expanding into new markets
Incorporating in a new jurisdiction, launching in a new region, or relocating your development team to another country. International taxation must be factored in from the start to avoid unexpected costs and compliance issues.
Running distributed development teams
Working with developers across multiple countries creates layered tax obligations: corporate taxes, withholding taxes on contractor payments, sales taxes, and VAT on developer services in each jurisdiction.
A publisher or online store
Selling games, software licenses, or digital goods across jurisdictions triggers VAT, sales tax, withholding taxes, and tax consequences of refunds in every country involved.
An investor in digital projects
Without advance planning, up to 30% of your return can be lost to withholding taxes in the investee's country. Tax-efficient structuring needs to happen before the investment is made.
Our approach
Making corporate structures more tax-efficient
We examine your entire group of companies, their contracts, financials, and incorporation jurisdictions to identify compliance gaps and opportunities to reduce the overall tax burden.
Utilising jurisdiction-specific tax benefits
Most countries offer tax incentives for digital businesses. We identify every applicable benefit and help you utilise them to maximum capacity in each country.
Choosing the optimal incorporation scenario
Depending on the jurisdiction, corporate vehicle type, and tax regime, the overall tax burden of your group can change drastically. We model scenarios and recommend the most tax-appropriate structure.
Advising on specific transaction-level tax issues
VAT responsibilities under the EU reverse-charge and OSS schemes, withholding tax obligations on cross-border contracts, pre-transaction compliance documentation, and other complex matters that arise in day-to-day international operations.
