Our Services
Cross-Border Tax Compliance
Managing operations overseas requires handling multiple tax systems, each with its own filings, disclosures, and documentation deadlines. Differences between jurisdictions can create gaps that result in audits or double taxation.
Our tax compliance consulting services help businesses meet corporate income tax, VAT, and withholding obligations across borders. We ensure filings align with both local and international regulations.
Our approach includes:
Managing multi-country tax submissions using digital reporting systems.
Aligning reporting between head office and local branches.
Reviewing double taxation risks and recommending treaty-based solutions.
Preparing compliance calendars to prevent missed deadlines.
By maintaining consistency across jurisdictions, our services reduce duplication and late penalties, keeping your global tax position accurate and defensible.
Transfer Pricing Documentation and Policy Design
Transfer pricing is a key focus in international taxation, and regulators are increasingly strict. Incorrect or incomplete documentation can lead to significant penalties.
We provide transfer pricing documentation and policy services that support your intercompany transactions under OECD and local regulations.
Our services include:
Developing arm’s-length pricing policies for goods, services, royalties, and management fees.
Preparing master and local files that meet OECD standards.
Benchmarking transactions using current comparables from reliable databases.
Designing procedures to monitor ongoing compliance.
This service helps your organization manage audit risks and ensures each entity can justify its transfer pricing to tax authorities.
International Corporate Structuring
Choosing the wrong corporate or holding structure can create unnecessary withholding taxes, limit treaty benefits, or trigger permanent establishment issues.
Pearl Lemon Tax offers wealth structuring and tax minimisation services to ensure your international operations are organised efficiently and legally from the start.
Our services include:
Selecting the right entity and jurisdiction for holding, trading, or IP companies.
Reviewing applicable double tax treaties for your business model.
Designing group structures that reduce administrative burden.
Coordinating with legal and financial advisors for full implementation.
With the right corporate structure, you can protect profits, minimise withholding taxes, and maintain compliance across jurisdictions.
VAT and Indirect Tax Consulting
Indirect tax rules differ across countries, creating challenges for cross-border supply chains and VAT recovery.
International Tax Agency provides VAT consultancy to help businesses manage compliance efficiently and reduce risk.
Our VAT services include:
Registration and reporting across the UK, EU, and other regions.
Guidance on VAT treatment for imports, exports, and digital services.
Systems setup to track input and output tax accurately.
Support with VAT audits and communication with tax authorities.
Clear VAT processes help protect cash flow, prevent errors, and ensure records are accurate for all transactions.
Permanent Establishment (PE) Risk Review
Operating in foreign markets without a full subsidiary can create permanent establishment risks, exposing your business to additional tax liabilities.
We assess whether your overseas presence triggers PE status and implement strategies to manage exposure.
Our PE risk review includes:
Examining contracts, staffing, and operations against local PE thresholds.
Preparing documentation to support non-establishment positions.
Advising on branch registration and representative office compliance.
Monitoring updates from tax authorities and relevant treaties.
This service ensures cross-border operations remain compliant while limiting unexpected foreign tax obligations.
Double Taxation Relief and Treaty Planning
Double taxation can reduce profits when multiple countries tax the same income. Correct treaty application is key to avoiding unnecessary tax costs.
International Tax Agency provides tax relief consulting to identify and secure relief under relevant double tax agreements.
Our services include:
Reviewing residency and beneficial ownership rules for treaty eligibility.
Claiming relief on dividends, interest, and royalty payments.
Filing refund requests for overpaid withholding taxes.
Advising on treaty-aligned structures to reduce global tax obligations.
Accurate use of treaties ensures your business keeps more income while remaining compliant with international tax requirements.
Global Expansion and Exit Tax Planning
Managing international operations requires careful planning for entry and exit to avoid unexpected tax liabilities.
Pearl Lemon Tax provides private wealth tax planning to support businesses and individuals with cross-border transitions.
Our services include:
Structuring new subsidiaries, acquisitions, or greenfield investments.
Reviewing exit charges, including capital gains and local exit taxes.
Modelling tax impacts for mergers, demergers, or market withdrawals.
Coordinating with finance teams to reflect changes accurately in reporting.
By addressing expansion and exit tax matters proactively, you maintain clarity over costs, compliance, and operational decisions across jurisdictions.
Tax Residency and Withholding Tax Advisory
International Tax Consulting provides tax advisory services to help businesses manage cross-border tax obligations efficiently. Correct residency status determines how profits are taxed, and withholding tax impacts returns if not handled properly.
Our services include:
Determining tax residency under OECD tie-breaker rules.
Advising on withholding rates according to applicable treaties.
Preparing exemption certificates and residency confirmations.
Reviewing payments to foreign entities to ensure correct withholding.
This approach ensures cross-border payments are managed accurately, documented clearly, and compliant with regulations.
