Global Business Moves Fast — Your Tax Strategy Should Too.
Expanding internationally or operating across multiple jurisdictions can open up significant opportunities—but it also introduces complex tax risks.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or multinational business, proper structuring of your cross-border operations is essential for compliance,
tax efficiency, and long-term success.
We help you design and manage tax-smart international structures aligned with both South African tax law (SARS) and overseas regulatory
requirements.
Our Cross-Border Structuring Services Include:
– Advising on optimal legal structures (e.g. branches, subsidiaries, holding companies, trusts)
– Compliance with SARS international tax rules, including CFC, transfer pricing, and anti-avoidance laws
– Application and interpretation of Double Tax Agreements (DTAs)
– Withholding tax planning (dividends, interest, royalties)
– Review of foreign corporate tax systems relevant to your expansion
– Cross-border employment and payroll tax considerations
– Support with offshore bank accounts, substance, and reporting obligations
– Ongoing compliance with both SARS and foreign tax authorities
Why It Matters
– Improper structuring can lead to:
– Double taxation or missed DTA benefits
– Non-compliance penalties in South Africa or abroad
– Inefficient repatriation of profits and excessive withholding tax
– Increased audit risk and operational exposure
– We design cross-border structures that are compliant, commercially practical, and tax efficient—from the start.
Who This Service Is For:
– South African businesses expanding into foreign markets
– Global companies entering or operating in South Africa
– Entrepreneurs and investors setting up offshore companies or trusts
– E-commerce and remote service providers with international clients
– South Africans with business or holding structures abroad
