Advances in technology and the digital economy are allowing more businesses to operate on a global scale. But with new opportunities come challenges – like navigating a whole new tax system. 

If your business has any international presence, no matter the size of your operations, you need to think about global tax compliance. 

At RSM, our international tax experts will help you to stay tax-compliant wherever you operate.

Collaborating daily with our colleagues in RSM’s offices around the world, here are some of the ways our international tax experts can help you.

We provide a full range of international tax advice including support on the design and implementation of transfer pricing policies and help to make the management of your globally mobile workforce friction-free.

Expanding to the UK

Understanding UK tax

While the UK’s tax system is aligned with international norms in many ways, the tax code system and regulatory framework is complex. 

Our foreign direct investment team helps companies expand into new markets or locations like the UK. This may include:

  • posting key staff to open or manage new locations;
  • advice on choosing a branch, subsidiary or other entity;
  • local payroll obligations;
  • tax registrations; and
  • structuring local trade including selecting an appropriate transfer pricing policy.

We can also guide you through the UK’s tax governance regimes.

Speaking to one of our advisers as early as possible is the best option to navigate the UK’s tax and regulatory regime. We can work together to set up the right tax structure for your business with your commercial objectives in mind.
