# General introduction to International tax planning strategies
Regarding the international tax planning of intellectual property rights and intangible assets, I can provide some generally adopted strategic frameworks：
1. **Structure of intellectual property holding company**: Set up a special intellectual property holding company in tax-preferential areas to manage the group's intangible assets such as patents and trademarks
2. **Cost-sharing arrangement**: Entities within the group jointly bear the cost of R&D and share the right to intellectual property income proportionally
3. **Concession arrangement**: Through a reasonable concession agreement, the operating company shall pay fees to the intellectual property holding company
4. **Advantages of tax treaties**: Use the network of tax treaties between different countries to reduce cross-border tax burdens such as withholding taxes
It should be emphasized that these strategies require：
-Meet substantive requirements (as stipulated in the BEPS Action Plan)
-Compliance with economic substance regulations and transfer pricing rules
-Consider changes in anti-tax avoidance regulations and economic environment in various countries
Any tax planning should be carried out under the guidance of a professional tax consultant to ensure legal compliance and consider business substance and economic purposes.
