International Tax Law
Double Tax Treaties, International Developments, Tax Optimisation
Your goals
Many Swiss enterprises do business abroad. Production, distribution and R&D activities are outsourced; new markets are penetrated; existing sales channels are realigned. Employees are often sent to foreign jurisdictions to work on a project or construction job. In addition, mergers, acquisitions and business reorganisations provide synergies and planning opportunities. On the other hand, international developments such as BEPS (base erosion and profit shifting) and the EU Action Plan require careful and wise actions to protect a group’s reputation.

MME Integrated Approach
International tax law is a cross-border discipline which requires extensive experience and creativity. However, the operational reality of an international group should always be reflected in its tax structure. In addition, increasingly complex compliance requirements (trade compliance, for example) should be considered when entering new markets.

From the magazine
DAC 6 – reporting obligation fulfilled?
To prevent potentially aggressive tax planning models, the European Union (EU) has tightened the transparency and disclosure requirements for aggressive cross-border tax planning with DAC 6. The reporting obligation may also affect Swiss-based individuals or companies due to their transactions with EU member states. Failure to meet the reporting obligation can lead to significant sanctions.
Transfer pricing for complex business models
The business models of multinational enterprises (MNEs) are becoming more and more complex and the service delivery processes are becoming increasingly global, integrated and digital. This poses major challenges for both tax authorities and MNEs.
