Our BDO International Corporate Tax Team supports mid-sized, large, and multinational clients to navigate their international tax challenges. Our connected international BDO network and our vast experience allow us to assist with various tasks:

• Entering new markets: we helped a client set up shop in Hong Kong to access the Chinese market, ensuring that profits were repatriated efficiently and challenges from the Belgian tax authorities were avoided.
• Simplifying complex holdings: in Luxembourg, we helped a client simplify their holding structure, assess tax risks, and manage acquisitions across Europe.
• Managing cross-border compliance: we guided clients through the complexities of foreign tax exposure for employees working abroad, ensuring full local compliance.
• Unlocking incentives: in France, we accessed tax incentives and funding for a client’s R&D, strengthening their Belgian IP holding company and managing international licensing agreements.
• Navigating fiscal formalities: an Austrian company expanding to Belgium called in the help of BDO. What began with a simple but critical question about fiscal & legal formalities evolved into seamless teamwork within the BDO network.
• Ensuring Pillar 2 compliance: we’re assisting multinationals to prepare for upcoming reporting obligations and calculate applicable top-up taxes, collaborating closely with BDO firms worldwide.

This is how we tackle challenges and create opportunities in the ever-changing international tax landscape – together.
