Some of the main taxes to consider include:
01
Inheritance Tax (IHT)
A tax levied on an individual's estate after their death, inheritance tax rates and exemptions vary depending on the jurisdiction. In some cases, an individual's domicile or nationality can impact their IHT liability, while in others, the location of the assets themselves can determine tax obligations. Proper planning and structuring can help mitigate exposure to IHT and ensure the efficient transfer of wealth to beneficiaries.
02
Income Tax
Tax on personal income varies based on an individual's tax residency and domicile. Tax residents are typically subject to income tax on their worldwide income, while non-residents may only be taxed on income sourced within a specific country. Tax rates and brackets can vary significantly across jurisdictions, and double taxation agreements can play a crucial role in determining an individual's income tax liability. Expert advice is essential to minimize tax exposure and ensure compliance with international tax regulations.
03
Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

CGT rates and rules vary among countries, with some jurisdictions offering exemptions or reduced rates for certain types of assets or holding periods. Understanding the CGT implications in each relevant jurisdiction and implementing effective tax planning strategies can help optimize the tax efficiency of your investments.
04
Corporation Tax
ax on company profits is influenced by the country in which the company is incorporated and where its management and control are exercised. Corporation tax rates and rules can vary widely, with some jurisdictions offering favorable tax regimes for certain types of businesses or activities. Additionally, international tax planning strategies such as transfer pricing, intellectual property management, and the use of tax treaties can help multinational companies manage their corporation tax liabilities effectively.
Tax Residency & Domicile:
Key Factors in International Tax Planning
