INTERNATIONAL TAX
As one of the most open economies, Spain has traditionally enjoyed a strong presence with international groups and investors. They have proved to be a key element in the improvement and modernization of the economic landscape as well as a positive factor in the development of many industries.
Since 1992, our partners have been accompanying and helping many of these groups in their business ventures in Spain, by providing their advice and expertise.
Since the beginning of this century, and stimulated by a favorable tax legislation, an increasing number of Spanish corporate groups have initiated successful expansion overseas in a tax efficient manner. Outbound investment has been a permanent factor, present in many public and private groups, comprising various sectors, but most notably in the retail, infrastructure and construction. In times of economic recession, many companies have found their basis of growth far from their traditional markets and outside Spain, mainly in the European countries, Latin America and the United States.
Many clients have trusted our partners concerning their tax needs in their international business endeavours, and we have considerable expertise and knowledge of International Double Tax Treaties and structuring of cross-border investments. Our expertise has brought to clients the benefits of holding company regimes available in many jurisdictions and, generally, a very wide array of international tax matters.
Where needed, we have negotiated and reached binding administrative rulings with the Tax Authorities concerning international investment structures that can reduce, or even eliminate, any uncertainty or contingency that those may trigger.
Through our extensive network of contacts at international Law Firms, we are also able to help our clients find the best solution to their tax needs in many of the world’s jurisdictions, and certainly in all of the major economies where our clients operate.
