International taxation

International taxation

Once operations extend beyond the European Union, double-taxation treaties, withholding taxes and, for more structured groups, transfer pricing come into play. We help client companies navigate Italian rules alongside those of the non-EU countries they operate in.

What's included

  • Analysis of the tax impact of transactions with non-EU counterparties
  • Application of double-taxation treaties
  • Review of withholding tax on cross-border fees and royalties
  • Basic transfer pricing assessments for groups with foreign companies
  • Coordination with tax correspondents in non-EU countries
  • Support setting up or overseeing related foreign companies

When it makes sense

  • You have customers, suppliers or subsidiaries in non-EU countries
  • You receive or pay fees subject to withholding tax in another country
  • Your group has foreign companies and needs a review of transfer prices

What we need to start

  • The group's structure and the countries you operate in
  • Contracts with your main foreign counterparties
