Effective Application of Double Taxation Agreements (DTA)
One of the biggest challenges in international tax law is the avoidance of double taxation, where income or assets are taxed both in the home country and abroad. To prevent this, double taxation agreements (DTAs) are in place, creating clear regulations for the allocation of taxes between the involved states.
A careful analysis and application of the relevant DTAs is essential to ensure that taxpayers are not burdened twice. MTR Legal advises companies and individuals on the optimal utilization of these agreements and assists with documentation and evidence provision to tax authorities. Through strategic planning, tax burdens can be significantly reduced.
Clear regulations for international income
Income from foreign sources, whether through investments, permanent establishments, or foreign corporations, is often subject to varying tax regulations. The question of where this income should be taxed depends on national laws, international agreements, and the principle of residency.
MTR Legal assists you with the correct declaration and taxation of your foreign income. We examine how national and international regulations overlap and develop a tax-efficient structure for your income. Our goal is to avoid legal conflicts and minimize the tax burden without violating applicable laws.
Correct assessment of cross-border transactions
In multinational companies, transfer pricing, which refers to the prices for goods, services, or financial transactions between related companies, is a focus for tax authorities. Incorrect or poorly documented transfer prices can lead to significant tax penalties and fines.
MTR Legal advises companies on creating compliant transfer pricing documentation that meets OECD standards and national laws. We assist you in establishing fair transfer prices and support you during audits or disputes with tax authorities. Our solutions legally and tax-wise safeguard your cross-border business relationships.
Optimal planning for global tax strategies
For companies operating across borders, the fiscal design of the corporate structure plays a crucial role. Whether it’s holding companies, permanent establishments, or subsidiaries – the choice of the right structure has far-reaching implications for tax burden and legal stability.
MTR Legal supports you in developing and implementing international tax strategies that consider both your economic goals and compliance with legal requirements. We analyze your existing structures, identify optimization potential, and develop models that ensure long-term legal certainty and tax efficiency.
