International taxation is currently undergoing landmark changes, with both the OECD and the European Union launching efforts to curb aggressive tax practices. Tax collection is becoming more diligent, controls are tightening, and the tax authorities of individual countries are closely and actively working together.
Changes in international taxation
Adapting to changes in international taxation is a must. We will review your international set-up and help implement efficient structures – using appropriate legal forms such as trusts, investment funds, or tax-transparent entities – to give you greater comfort.
International projects and restructurings
We also coordinate and manage cross-border projects and reorganisations. We advise on the tax implications of operating abroad, regardless of whether it’s construction and installation projects, service delivery, intermediary services, technology sales, or support for foreign acquisitions.
International transactions
For each transaction, we assess both Czech and foreign legislation. Our analysis also covers EU law – relevant Court of Justice rulings and EU directives – and we help apply the correct withholding tax rate or claim an exemption.
Our services
For Czech companies operating abroad (e.g., construction/installation, technology sales, support for foreign acquisitions), we address tax impacts such as those related to creating and taxing a permanent establishment overseas.
We can also handle the allocation of costs and revenues along the supply chain or between a Czech head office and foreign permanent establishments (transfer pricing).
We advise where to establish a holding company, a group financing vehicle, or an entity licensing intangible assets.
We provide consultancy
on international mergers.
We design and help implement a tax-efficient international structure and a business strategy suitable for both the Czech Republic and foreign markets.
In structuring, we consider withholding taxes (interest, dividends, royalties) as well as overall taxation levels in each country.
For EU-based transactions, we assess both national rules and the applicable EU directives.
