Foreign structuring is not as simple as saying: I want to own a company offshore. So what does it entail?

After attending this course, delegates will have gained an understanding of the competencies mentioned below and must be able to apply the concepts and techniques in most situations and environments: • International tax and legal entities • Benefits of company vs individual vs trust • How does the law change?

The aim of this session is to cover the high level overview of foreign structuring. The main topic areas to be covered are: • How does the nature of the entity influence the tax consequence? • How does the nature of the enterprise influence the tax consequences? • How does the location of the employees influence the tax consequences? • Translation requirements for foreign debts or foreign assets • Calculation of capital gains or losses with respect to foreign assets

This course would be useful for all persons who provide tax advice for any clients. It would also be useful for any persons who are responsibility for the tax compliance of their businesses or their clients. Any delegate that is looking to get a refresher on the above topics would also be welcome.
