Who might need it?

1
Digital projects expanding into new markets

If you're looking to incorporate in a new jurisdiction, launch your project in a new region or move your development team to another country, international taxation has to be taken into consideration. We assist you with the tax aspect of it all so that you achieve your goal with as little taxation-related problems and costs as possible.

2
Companies with distributed development teams

A lot of our clients work with developers in different countries, so they need to compute not only the taxes paid by the company itself, but also the taxes withheld from developers, taxes paid by developers in different countries, sales taxes and value added taxes on the services of such developers, etc.

3
Publishers and online stores

Since publishers and online stores selling games and software licences typically have a lot of transactions with developers and users in various jurisdictions, which inevitably raises a lot of tax issues in every country involved (VAT, sales tax, withholding taxes, tax consequences of refunds, etc.).

Investors

Investing into digital projects can be lucrative, but one has to consider the most tax-efficient method of receiving return on the investment. An investor can lose as much as 30% of their return on taxes withheld in the country where the investee is. We help plan these thing in advance, before the investment is made.

How we can help?

  1. Making a corporate structure more tax-efficient: we will examine your whole group of companies, their contracts, their financials and the jurisdictions they are incorporated in to see whether your group is tax-compliant and if there are opportunities to reduce the tax burden.
  2. Utilising specific tax benefits: most jurisdictions offer a range of tax benefits to digital businesses. We can help you identify and utilise to the maximum capacity those tax benefits which are applicable to your companies in each country.
  3. Choosing the scenario for incorporation: depending on the jurisdiction, the type of corporate vehicle and the tax regime can drastically change the overall tax burden of the group. We can assist with choosing the most tax-appropriate way to incorporate for you.
  4. Providing counsel of specific tax issues: international businesses often encounter complex issues related to a specific transaction: who is responsible for VAT payment under the EU reverse-charge scheme and OSS-scheme; is there any withholding taxes related to certain contracts; which documents have to be filled out before a transaction for compliance purposes, etc. We provide counsel regarding these and many other issues.
