International tax structuring for founders

Facts we review

We review the founder's residence and mobility, the business model, customers and teams, intellectual property, current entities, ownership, financing, profit flows and planned exits or investments.

The analysis includes where work is performed and decisions are made, because incorporation, personal residence and operational substance can point to different taxing rights and compliance duties.

• Current and expected personal residence.
• Entity classification in each relevant country.
• Functions, people, contracts, assets and risks by location.
• Distributions, remuneration, reinvestment and exit plans.

How the engagement works

We map the existing position before comparing alternatives. Each viable structure is tested against tax treatment, corporate law, management, transfer pricing, reporting, banking, cost and the founder's ability to operate it consistently.

The recommended path records what the structure is for, the conditions it relies on, which local conclusions need confirmation and the sequence for implementation or simplification.

Evidence that matters

The evidence should follow the business. Contracts, accounts and formal resolutions matter, but they must agree with who performs the work, controls accounts, negotiates commitments and bears commercial risk.

• Ownership history, cap table and funding records.
• Customer, supplier, employment and contractor agreements.
• Board records, authority controls and decision trail.
• Accounting, transfer-pricing, banking and source-of-wealth records.

Material limits

There is no universal best company, holding location or distribution route. Results depend on residence, classification, treaties, anti-avoidance rules, business substance and future conduct. A diagram cannot guarantee those facts.

Libertax does not offer concealment or a guaranteed tax outcome. Jurisdiction-specific legal, tax, accounting or regulatory conclusions and filings are confirmed or delivered by the appropriate professional.
