Operational Tax Professional

Working at Taxology

Working to help investors

Cross border investment is a cornerstone of global prosperity. Yet cross border investment almost always suffers double taxation since, by definition, two countries and therefore two tax administrations are involved who will each want a piece of the pie. There are a lot of international agreements, as well as domestic exemptions that aim to avoid or at least mitigate such double taxation. Unfortunately, there is little to no coordination and harmonization of double tax relief. Rules and diffuse and complex procedures are often laborious.
