FAQ's about International Tax
International tax covers the tax rules and obligations that apply when businesses operate, invest or transact across international borders. It can include areas such as cross-border transactions, international structures, transfer pricing and global tax requirements.
Businesses may benefit from international tax advice when expanding overseas, entering the Australian market, establishing international structures, undertaking cross-border transactions or managing related-party arrangements across jurisdictions.
Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of transactions between related entities, such as companies within the same multinational group. Appropriate transfer pricing arrangements can help businesses manage their tax obligations and comply with Australian and international requirements.
Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) refers to tax planning strategies that can exploit gaps or mismatches between tax rules to shift profits to jurisdictions where little or no tax is paid. The OECD's BEPS framework aims to address these practices and strengthen international tax rules.
Australian businesses with international operations or cross-border related-party transactions may be affected by BEPS measures and associated Australian tax and reporting requirements. The impact depends on the business's structure, transactions and international activities.
International tax advice can help businesses understand cross-border tax obligations, identify potential risks, assess international structures and transactions, and respond to changing international tax requirements.
