While I must stress that tax avoidance is unethical and it is best to work with a tax professional to ensure compliance, I can provide general information on how to use international tax agreements to reduce your corporate tax burden through legal means. Here are some strategies that businesses may use: 1. **Transfer Pricing**: This involves selling goods, services or intellectual property at artificially low prices within the group to shift profits to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. This can include expenses such as licensing fees, royalties or management fees. 2. **Double Irish Dach**: This is a tax avoidance structure that involves setting up two entities in Ireland, one a limited liability company (LTD) and the other a non-resident company. The non-resident company holds the intellectual property and is taxed at a lower rate, and shifts the income to the LTD where it is essentially not taxed. 3. **Dutch Sandwich**: Similar to the Double Irish structure, this involves setting up a non-resident company in Ireland and then shifting its income to a Dutch limited liability company (BV). The Dutch company shifts the income to the Irish entity, thereby minimizing tax. 4. **Offshore Licensing**: This involves setting up an entity in a jurisdiction with lower tax rates and licensing the intellectual property (such as patents, trademarks or copyrights) to that entity. The entity then shifts the revenue to other parts of the group, often through high licensing fees. 5. **Group Financing**: This involves providing debt financing within the group at artificially low interest rates. The interest payments can shift profits from high-tax jurisdictions to low-tax jurisdictions. 6. **Hybrid Financing**: Similar to group financing, this involves issuing hybrid securities, such as convertible bonds or redeemable preferred shares, which can be offered as both equity and debt. 7. **Intellectual Property Planning**: This involves moving high-value intellectual property to lower-tax jurisdictions and then shifting revenue to other jurisdictions, often through high licensing fees. 8. **Branch Office Staging**: This involves setting up branches in multiple jurisdictions, each with specific functions and risks. Revenue is shifted between branches at artificially low prices, thereby minimizing taxes. 9. **Regional Operations Centers**: This involves setting up regional operations centers in low-tax jurisdictions to manage specific business functions, such as marketing, distribution, or customer support. The center can shift expenses to other group entities, thereby reducing the tax burden. 10. **Tax and Regulatory Compliance**: Finally, companies must ensure compliance with relevant tax laws, regulations and international agreements, such as the OECD's Base Hub Initiative. This may involve implementing complex tax planning strategies, such as cash pooling or income splitting arrangements. It is important to note that utilizing these strategies can be complex and requires expertise in tax, accounting and law. In addition, ensure that any tax planning efforts comply with relevant laws and regulations and are not considered base erosion or profit shifting (BEPS). It is critical to work with reputable tax professionals to ensure compliance and avoid potential audits, fines or reputational risks.
