In this episode, Danielle Sherwin is joined by Peter Xi and Adrian Tang from RSM’s Technology Sector Group to explore key tax considerations impacting the technology sector.
Drawing on their specialised expertise across R&D, Corporate Tax, and International Tax and Transfer Pricing, they provide an overview of current market trends, and key tax considerations across the business lifecycle, from structuring and R&D through to international expansion.
The discussion also touches on areas such as M&A trends, IP issues including offshoring and royalty withholding tax risks and the importance of getting the legal frameworks right to support cross-border operations.
