Italian companies operating in international markets are constantly exposed to "international tax" issues. 
Entering a foreign market is one of the most important decisions an Italian company can make in the course of its existence and requires a careful evaluation of the legal, tax and accounting aspects related to it. The questions to be answered are many, such as:

  • What legal form should be adopted?
  • How will the foreign entity be treated from a tax and corporate point of view and where will it be subject to taxation?
  • How to finance the investment abroad: through equity capital, a loan or a combination of the two?
  • Will the income generated be taxed only in the foreign country or, for the sake of transparency, also in Italy where the parent company is based?
  • Are local/foreign directors necessary and/or recommended?
  • If someone agrees to be appointed as director of the new entity, what legal/tax/asset-related risks would he/she exposes himself/herself to?
  • Will transactions between various companies of the group be subject to transfer pricing regulations? In which countries? And are there any particular compliance requirements?
