Basics of International Tax Planning
Date Added: November 17, 2008 09:29:13 AM

It is essential to get a hold on your taxation status immediately after moving abroad, especially if you are planning to settle there for a prolonged period. In fact, the taxation status of an individual can often dictate the amount of tax he/ she will pay. This may even help you to gain capitals or income taxation breaks. On the other hand, with an improper taxation status you can even come across double taxation issues. In fact, such matters can also raise issues relating to the residence status of an individual.

Thereby, it is important that you understand the tax related laws and rules of your home country as well as of the new country, where you are planning to settle. In addition, you will need to focus more towards international tax planning.

There are a number of professional groups who offer these types of services. In general, these types of tax professionals fall into 4 categories:

1. Local AccountantsYou will need to appoint a local accountant in your home country who will help you to understand the various perspective of international taxation. In fact, you will also need to appoint an accountant in your new country of residence, as it is unlikely that a local accountant in your home country will have in depth knowledge about the tax related laws, rules and breaks of another country. Thereby, it is better to employ two professionals in order to ensure that all your potential liabilities will be well covered in both the countries.

2. Professional International Tax PlannersThese professional tax planners can help you to build a proper taxation status by combining their knowledge of international accountancy and financial planning. In addition, they will help you to understand the advantages and disadvantages of your present taxation status. Moreover, the international tax planners help to cover all your taxation liability as well as to get the offshore advantages that you are entitled to. They will even formulate a unique legal plan for you so as to lower your total taxation liability.

3. International AccountantsInternational accountants can also help in your international taxation planning. In fact, they have too a good understanding about international tax related rules and breaks. However, appointing an international accountant will be of no use if your prime concern is about offshore banking advantage and investment. They can actually advise you on the residency related rules and laws.

4. International Financial AdvisersThe international financial advisers can help you to understand the offshore world and can also advice you how to position your financial assets in your new country of residence. Moreover, they can help you to limit or negate your overall taxation liability.
