Factors To Consider In International Corporate Tax Planning Canada

By Sarah Davis


Every company operating internationally has an obligation of paying duty to its home country and the country that it is residing in. Such considerations require a lot of organization to comply with every policy that is related to them. Below are guidelines for international corporate tax planning Canada that one should bear in mind.

Acknowledge the structure of your corporate. Companies which have achieved a fully-fledged status are the ones which are usually required to pay their taxes. A fully-fledged company is expected to have a couple of operations such as manufacturing, accounting, customer services, and legal operations all the same time. Those which are established as a single operation are exempted to certain duties since they do not have transfer pricing, inter-company pricing, and a market data.

Acknowledge income that is tax-free. Some incomes have been considered duty free by most countries. This policy is established to make sure that the most international firms maintain their operation due to flexibility in taxation. Income that is gained overseas and home country is considered nontaxable, but the income should be maintained abroad. Any transfer made will be considered taxable through the transfer pricing policy.

Acquaint with the regulations that are established. International corporate should acknowledge all the regulations that are established in the residence country for easy compliance. Indirect taxation is the most common form of obligation that a firm is expected to comply with. This includes the value-added duty as well as the service and good duty. Some authorities can go to the extent of taxing the income and gross receipt which is very rare.

Check the transfer pricing tax. Companies that operate on international levels have cross-border transactions that help in maintaining efficiency in their operation. In that case, prepare a proper transfer pricing audit and support documents that show duty exemption. Such considerations will help you reduce the possibility of taxation risks and fines due to non-compliance.

Check the non-operating and other liabilities. Non-operating assets and liabilities are not subjected to taxation. They can be included in the total valuation of a company which subjecting them to taxation. Therefore, they should be recognized in the balance sheet to avoid such cases. These include land that is not in use, levy reserves, loan guarantees, and duty assets.

Check any investments made in subsidiaries. Multinationals usually have subsidiaries or start as subsidiaries when establishing their operation in a foreign country. Such kinds of entities are hard to report since they have not achieved a fully-fledged structure. Even so, they can still be taxed trough reporting of financial information of all investments made or through the equity method.

Ensure that your documents are accurate. Taxation relies heavily on the information provided by a corporate in its report. Therefore, one should ensure that such documents provide accurate information about its finances. Some of the documents that should be included are foreign income, proof of the duties that have been paid and exemptions. Consider the help of a tax lawyer, auditor, and valuation professional to ensure that the report is done in the right manner.
