Tax Advisory & Optimization
At PHC Advisory we provide Clients with integrated tax advisory across Asia and Europe.
Tax advisory and optimization covers the design of tax-efficient structures and the ongoing management of the tax positions and obligations, particularly for groups operating across multiple jurisdictions where intercompany flows, mobile employees, IP structures, and holding companies must all be considered together.
Services
Direct & Indirect Taxes / Personal and Corporate
Direct and indirect tax planning covers advisory about income taxes levied on corporates (CIT) and individuals (IIT), along with value added tax (VAT) and goods and services tax (GST) which impact on purchases and sales of goods, services, and other assets.
At PHC Advisory we advise Clients on both direct and indirect taxes at both the corporate and individual level across all the jurisdictions where we operate, structuring transactions to minimize the combined tax cost while managing compliance and advising individuals on personal tax planning consistent with their employer’s position.
Global Tax
Global tax addresses the issues that arise in the space between countries for groups operating across multiple jurisdictions – where profits are recognized, how intercompany flows are taxed on both ends, how treaty networks are navigated, and how the group’s overall tax position is reported and defended.
At PHC Advisory we provide integrated global tax advisory for multinational groups with operations across Asia and Europe, coordinating the local tax positions in each jurisdiction to produce a coherent group-level tax strategy.
Tax treaties
Tax treaties and double tax agreements (DTAs) allocate the taxation rights on income among jurisdictions, with correct application depending on beneficial ownership requirements, principal purpose tests, limitation on benefits clauses, and their interaction with domestic anti-avoidance rules.
At PHC Advisory we advise Clients about the application of tax treaties, assessing the beneficial owner and principal purpose tests, and directly liaising with competent tax authorities, with a specific focus in China, Vietnam, India, Italy and the UAE. We help in evaluating treaty eligibility, preparing the supporting documentation and managing tax filing where a reduced withholding rate is claimed.
