Like the old saying: nothing in life is certain but death and taxes. Whether you’re incorporating your first business or structuring your expansion into new foreign markets, there is one thing which your business simply cannot escape – taxes. Unfortunately, when it comes to the receiver of revenue, ignorance is not bliss – ignorance can lead to unintended liabilities, penalties and interest. But on the other hand, tax awareness helps you plan your finances effectively and legally.

Tax is an ever-evolving part of our law and one which is relevant to all businesses. Regardless of if you’re turning your first profits, structuring an employee share incentive scheme, or figuring out how to earn international revenue, it’s important to structure your tax correctly and be aware of the implications on your cash flow, intellectual property assignment, or commercial structuring.
