International Tax Desk Program Local Knowledge for a Successful Global Strategy April, 2016

International tax desk program

In today's dynamic business environment, it is essential that US multinational companies have realtime access to in-depth foreign country tax intelligence in order to seize potential opportunities and manage global risks. Moreover, keeping abreast of legislative and regulatory tax changes as well as understanding what tax trends are on the horizon in key jurisdictions, not only provides the necessary information for properly administering the tax function, but can lead to a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Local knowledge for a successful global strategy PwC’s International Tax Desks (ITD) are comprised of experienced tax professionals from Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa with deep country-specific tax and business knowledge. Our ITD professionals are an integrated part of our US International Tax practice as well as PwC's extensive global tax network, helping to provide seamless service across borders. They are uniquely positioned to provide companies with insight into tax and business developments around the world, including planning ideas that are tailored to the jurisdictions in which companies operate and to specific circumstances and needs. The ITD team also keeps companies up to date on tax developments through regular country-specific newsalerts, webcasts and seminars. By working with our ITD, companies can access the wealth of experience we have in advising on the multi-faceted aspects of cross-border and in-country international tax planning, including: corporate restructuring; acquisition and divesture planning; holding company strategies; financing arrangements; global supply chain and intellectual property planning; withholding tax minimization; and foreign tax management. Business needs are constantly changing and so are foreign and US tax rules and practices. Planning to accommodate these changes requires fresh thinking and the latest insights into current tax developments. PwC’s ITD can help companies stay one step ahead of challenging tax and business complexities, enabling them to operate efficiently across different jurisdictions, expand into new markets and achieve their overall business objectives.
