This title provides a clear introduction to international taxation and presents its material in a global context, explaining policy, legal issues and planning points central to taxation issues, primarily from the viewpoint of a multinational group of companies. It uses examples and diagrams throughout to aid the reader's understanding and offers more in--depth material on many important areas of the subject.

As well as practitioners who are less familiar with international taxation principles, this title is also used as a core text by many undergraduate and post graduate students studying business degrees. It is also widely used by those studying for the CIOT Advanced Diploma in International Taxation.

Business is increasingly carried on a global scale and as such an understanding of how international taxation works is very useful for in house finance teams as well as their advisers.

The 9th edition is again fully updated to cover important regulatory and legislative developments, including those in light of the ongoing OECD BEPS project implementation. Other key developments include:

Progress towards a global minimum corporate tax rate to curb base erosion and tax competition (Pillar 2), eg OECD implementation framework and UK draft legislation
New crypto asset reporting framework released by OECD.
Ongoing impact of Covid-19 on international taxation
Progress in relation to tackling tax evasion now that country by country reporting is bedding in.
Further developments in European direct taxation including the debt-equity bias reduction allowance (DEBRA) and new Directive to prevent the misuse of shell entities.

The updating is done by Lynne Oats, Professor of Taxation and Accounting, University of Exeter Business School, and formerly Deputy Director of the Tax Administration Research. She has managed this project since it's inception.

Danette Lowe offers valuable insights with thoughtful attention to detail, clarity, and wisdom. This book provides practical guidance to help readers navigate retirement with confidence and foresight.

Praise for Jennifer Patterson and Financial Planning for Global Living

Having suffered the trials and tribulations of going expat in my mid-career in the 1990s, I wish that I had been given the information in this book those many years ago. Jennifer Patterson takes a complex and emotional subject and lays out a clear strategy for any individual or family trying to navigate the many conflicting forces at play when you move country, move job, and move out of a safe home environment. Jennifer lays out a bold manifesto, based on solid principles and experience. This book can save you money, your marriage/partnership, and a lot of emotional turmoil that normally leads to ill-health. Well worth reading and acting on the key ideas.

-- Lorne Mitchell, Managing Director, Objective Designers Ltd.

Although this may be the financial planning profession's best resource on cross-border planning issues faced by people navigating among a variety of national and local tax jurisdictions, Financial Planning for Global Living also serves as a valuable guidebook for how to live a better, more prosperous, more intentional life.

-- Bob Veres, Publisher, Inside Information

Jennifer Patterson is passionate about the importance of creating a financial foundation that supports individuals and families living globally. This book is the culmination of her many years' experience -- both personal and professional -- of the realities of cross-border living, and it resonates with the warmth and wisdom she brings to this often neglected part of our lives. She blends practical guidance with a firsthand understanding of the challenges cross-border families face, helping us to achieve long-term security in an ever changing world.

-- Rachel Yates, Creator, The Expat Lifeline

Jennifer Patterson has written a must-read primer for anyone amidst or considering cross-cultural living... Read this book -- and learn from one of the best. Financial Planning for Global Living is the exhaustive field guide that should be included with every international assignment so the issues that matter are dealt with from the start of this wonderful global adventure.

Now in its fifth edition, Global Transfer Pricing: Principles and Practice continues to provide a straightforward and accessible introduction to this complex and increasingly important area of business taxation.

It offers readers an overall view of transfer pricing as it is practised today, and includes Deloitte's quick reference Global Transfer Pricing Country Guide - an indispensable source of information on the transfer pricing regimes in 69 jurisdictions around the world. In addition to the theory of transfer pricing, this practical handbook explains how to implement transfer pricing models in global multinationals, how to monitor transactions to ensure compliance and how to create transfer pricing documentation. Readers will benefit from the practical experience that the Deloitte transfer pricing group have gained in helping businesses implement processes that deal with the business models that have evolved in today's increasingly competitive landscape.

The transfer pricing environment has evolved significantly since the publication of the previous edition - changes reflected in this new edition include the impact of Brexit, Covid-19, guidance on financial transactions and IBOR, and proposed updates to UK documentation requirements.

In addition to being used by practitioners, this title is also used by undergraduate and post graduate students studying business degrees, and those studying for professional qualifications, such as the CIOT Advanced Diploma in International Taxation.

Roy Donegan is a Partner in Deloitte's transfer pricing group, based in London, with 19 years' experience in the field. During that time, Roy has worked extensively on a wide range of transfer pricing matters, from advising on policies, through to documentation, implementation and liaising with tax authorities on tax payers behalf's. Within Deloitte, Roy leads a sub-group that focuses on advising privately owned groups on transfer pricing matters, ranging from large private companies and partnerships in the professional practices sector to innovative and entrepreneurial start-ups and fast-growing disruptor businesses.

Nowadays tax havens have been forced by third-party jurisdictions and multilateral organizations to implement rules, instruments, and regulations to avoid or facilitate tax evasion, and money laundering.

Despite the above, it is still 0% possible to avoid paying taxes at all, nonetheless, it is now a more complex procedure, which is why it is essential that you are aware of these rules, regulations, and legal instruments to be able to reduce your tax base and obtain tax freedom and tax optimization.

There are several factors to take into consideration when assessing your local and international tax affairs, as not only your tax status plays a role, but also the tax status of the payor, if the jurisdiction is a black or gray-listed jurisdiction, instruments implemented by jurisdictions to avoid the artificial transfer of income or artificial tax base erosion, CFC Rules, Transfer Pricing Rules, and more.

For example, if you live in a jurisdiction where you don't pay income tax as an individual, let's say Dubai, U.A.E, and open a company in the British Virgin Islands, and this company receives royalty payments from the U.S.A., the U.S.A. will tax your royalty profits at a 30% tax rate.

In the opposite scenario, if you live in a high-tax country, let's say the U.K. Canada, Japan, U.S.A, etc., and you open an Offshore Company in a tax haven, and this is a shell company with no office space or employees (substance) in the jurisdiction of formation, this would not be enough to legally not pay taxes or defer the payment of taxes in your country of individual tax residency as most likely the Controlled Foreign Company Rules (CFC Rules) would apply to you, and your country of tax residency will tax the income of the BVI company as if the net income of your offshore company was distributed and paid to you, even if you did not take the earnings out of the company.

There are multiple ways to avoid paying these taxes, but first, you or your advisor must play by the rules and regulations to be able to find the loopholes or legally circumvent the regulations to legally avoid and not pay taxes.

In this book we will provide insight so you understand these regulations and some ways to avoid paying taxes, as naturally, someone who is not an international tax lawyer generally is not well aware of all these instruments used by jurisdictions for individuals and companies to avoid paying taxes, especially if it is their first time opening an offshore company.

Each type of tax has its own nature and ways to optimize/avoid it. That is when international tax planning comes into play, where we take into consideration all the possible aspects that might affect your tax situation, as just opening an offshore company in a random 0% tax jurisdiction will not suffice.

Each concept will vary depending on jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and in some jurisdictions, some concepts might not even exist or not be implemented.

This book focuses on providing you with ways to avoid, legally, these regulations and taxes. Herein we will mostly cover the following topics, which will include ways to legally circumvent or avoid them:

• Tax residency for companies and individuals.
• Worldwide and territorial tax systems.
• Offshore Companies and Tax Havens.
• Income and capital gains tax, and ways to reduce it or avoid it.
• Withholding tax
• Tax Information Exchange Agreements
• Exit tax.
• Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC Rules).
• Economic Substance Requirements (ESR)
• Transfer Pricing.
• Tax treaties and treaty shopping.

A robust and efficient tax administration in a modern tax system requires effective tax policies and legislation. Policy frameworks should cover all aspects of tax administration and include the essential processes of capturing, processing, analyzing, and responding to information provided by taxpayers and others concerning taxpayers' affairs. By far the greatest challenges facing tax administrations in all countries are those posed by the continuing developments in the digital economy. Whereas societies are grappling to come to terms with the transitions from the third industrial or digital revolutions, revenue authorities grapple with the consequences for the sustainability of their tax bases and the efficient administration and collection of taxes. This book presents a critical review of the status of tax systems in Asia and the Pacific in the era of the digital economy.

The book suggests how countries can maximize their domestic resource mobilization when confronted by the challenges that digitalization inevitably produces, as well as how they can best harness or take advantage of aspects of digitalization to serve their own needs. The full implications of the COVID-19 crisis are still too uncertain to predict, but it is clear that the crisis will accelerate the trend towards digitalization and also increase pressures on public finances. This, in turn, may shape the preference for, and the nature of, both multilateral and unilateral responses to the tax challenges posed by digitalization and the need to address them.

This book will be a timely reference for those researching on taxation in digital economy and for policy makers.

This title provides practitioners and students with a concise and clear introduction to international tax law and how it is applied, particularly in relation to the taxation of private investment income. It is a valuable resource for advisers who deal with cross-border tax issues infrequently or are encountering it for the first time.

The book covers the background to international tax law and the interaction with national tax law set by individual countries. The amount of cross-border investment by individuals and businesses continues to increase as the world gets smaller. The growth of the digital economy and various world events such as Brexit have increased this trend and as a result tax-payers and their advisers are encountering double taxation issues for the first time.

The author examines how the right to tax different types of cross-border flows of income (such as business, property, employment and investment income) and of different types of capital gains is shared between the state where those profits originated (the source state) and the state where the individual or company receiving them is based (the residence state). This is considered both under the OECD Model Treaty that acts as the basis of most double tax treaties and also under EU tax law, which at times overrides and is more favourable to the taxpayer than a double tax treaty.

Cross-border inheritance and gift tax treaties are also considered, and how they share out taxing rights between source and residence states. This is followed by an introduction to different kinds of entities used in offshore tax planning, which also describes some of the possibilities of structuring transactions using those entities. It includes warning sections for practitioners to help them avoid getting their fingers burnt: firstly an introduction to anti-avoidance rules under domestic law and tax treaties; secondly a section on international exchange of financial and tax information as well as cooperation on cross-border enforcement of tax debts to warn the reader to assume full transparency of all their transactions for tax purposes rather than rely on the not found out rule, as was often possible in the past. Finally, in cases where this advice has not been followed, there is a section on regularising under-declared assets.

Key areas of commentary including the introductory section, are followed by a short set of revision questions and answers so that readers can self-test whether they have grasped the key points.

Attempts at introducing land value taxation in the United Kingdom demonstrate a long and varied history. This book considers this history and how the tax is particularly relevant today. It explores past debates over different forms of the tax, its role in generating government revenue, its practical operation, and its future prospects in Britain and elsewhere.

8,000 Years of Weird and Wonderful Taxes takes a journey through history as we shed light on unusual and different taxes through the ages.

We start with the beginning of taxation in 6,000 BC with the Bala tax and move through to the current day Social media taxes. Governments levy taxes for two reasons, to raise revenue to fund their spending or change citizens behaviours (by either rewarding or punishing the behaviours they want to change). We look at the effect on society of the 420 BC - Sex tax, 870 - Breast tax, 1535 - Beard tax and the 1807 - Killing of squirrels tax, to name a few.

Some historical taxes will make us question the legislator's sanity (the 1800 - Tax on eye colour), while others were damaging to our health (the 2009 - Pro-cigarette smoking tax). Like them or loathe them, there is no doubt taxes have shaped history and the world we live in today.

Live Tax-Free is your Five-Step Roadmap to 'Living Better for less Abroad.'

Live Tax-Free is the definitive guide on how Americans can achieve a more prosperous lifestyle, eliminate debt, spend less, and free up money to invest by 'going international.' Given the recent pandemic, the future of business is remote working. It has become the norm because of covid.

But what most people do not know is that there are substantial financial benefits from living abroad and working remotely. For instance, did you know that the US tax code allows you to pay absolutely $0 US income tax on up to $121,000 (or more) when you 'go international'?

And if both you and your spouse qualify, you can double the tax-free 'joy' to $242,000 (2 x $121,000) every year and not owe Uncle Sam a nickel ($0 in taxes).

So, working remotely from abroad can be a brilliant 'financial' move. And we'll show you how to do it. After all, what is a goal without an action plan?

• Freedom-Factor #1 is lower taxes. Follow the Five-Steps in our Tax-Free Roadmap(TM), and you can put tens of thousands of dollars back in your pocket every year.
• Freedom-Factor #2 is substantially lowering your everyday 'cost of living.' So, you'll save tens of thousands more each year via the lower cost of living typically found abroad.

A Powerful Combination

The combination of lower taxes and a reduced cost of living is a powerful investment. This money-smart and lifestyle-enhancing strategy can create hundreds of thousands of additional dollars in only a few short years abroad.

Utilize this newfound wealth to meet your essential goals like college educations, debt elimination, home purchase, helping others, and funding your retirement. It can even help you recover from the financial impact of the pandemic. That's big stuff.

For over thirty years, the tax advisors at Tax-Free.org have designed and perfected international tax strategies and opportunities.

By experiencing every aspect of expatriate life firsthand, we have the unique ability to convey to our clients and readers holistic expat strategies in clear, accessible, actionable language.

So, by the end of this book, you'll know and understand the five straightforward steps to build a better quality of life abroad. You'll also learn how to substantially reduce your everyday cost of living and the best places abroad to live tax-free (while remaining a US citizen).

This book answers your questions on:

• The 5-Steps to living Tax-Free;
• How to live large for a fraction of the price back in the US;
• Where to gain second tax-free residencies abroad;
• The pluses and minuses of offshore bank accounts;
