Taxation is a discipline that expresses itself, manifests itself on several aspects, including the national and the international aspects. At the international level, it is also a mark of state sovereignty. International taxation can be defined as the set of rules that govern the taxation of persons and goods, both on the occasion of the collection of income and the transmission of assets, once the operation collection of this income or transmission of this heritage has a foreign element (foreign element).

By foreign element, we mean an element that brings into play several sovereign national rights.

What does international taxation involve?

Double taxation

International taxation requires each State to exercise its own taxation on its territories. As such, a person or property may be subject to double taxation. It is based on two criteria. The first would be the source and the second would be the residence. Thus, when a person derives wealth from another State, and is resident in another State, his income may be subject to double taxation because international tax law does not prohibit it.

In concrete terms, this amounts to a natural or legal person paying two different taxes for the same property in the name of double taxation. This tax will be due to the State where the property comes from and also to the State where the person owning the property is resident.

It is therefore appropriate to contact people who have not made it their profession, professionals such as lawyers and/or lawyers in international taxation to have all the content of these rules and the different means at your disposal to do so. to face.

This is where our law firm helps you by providing you with useful information and even by taking action on your behalf. We are at your disposal.

Tax residence and non-tax resident

These different notions refer us directly to the conditions that States establish in this regard. To be tax resident, you have to stick to what each state requires to be resident.

But for a person who knows about it, they have no secrets for him, it is for example our legal experts and lawyers who have made it their specialty in order to help you as best as possible and in the best conditions.

In general, a person residing for tax purposes in a country is taxable on all his assets and income regardless of their sources. Being a non-resident is a fairly complex status to obtain. You must therefore refer to a jurist or a lawyer who can help you obtain it.

As for the non-resident, it is in principle taxable only on goods that have a local origin, that is to say that the source of the goods is the country. This is particularly the case for expatriates. Here, again it is necessary to use the services which will give you all the useful and necessary information on the laws of the country concerning the non-resident because it is a concept which can reserve unpleasant surprises and pleasant surprises according to the place where the ‘We are.

Taxation of property transfers

The transfer of wealth, of goods, from one state to another requires a cost. This is transfer pricing taxation. Any person, whether natural or legal, wishing to transfer property must pay the transfer price imposed by local taxation. This amount is generally a function of the mass and the value of the goods to be transferred.

This price can be very high in some cases, as we said, it depends on the tax law of the country where the goods are located. At this stage, the presence of a lawyer or at least the advice of a lawyer are more than beneficial because very often, failing to retain your assets on their territory in order to tax them again and again, the tax authorities can maximize or do nothing to minimize the transfer price.

Our lawyers and jurists specializing in international taxation are there for you. They will advise you usefully and will carry out actions in your name before the tax authorities with the aim of relocating your assets without additional superficial cost.

Double tax residence

The principle of dual tax residence is that it must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. There is therefore no specific scenario listed as a constant case that comes up often. It most often occurs for professional reasons. Indeed, when for marital reasons, the person does not move near his place of work, because his family finds an interest in keeping the main house, for example as the employment of the spouse, the school of the children , etc.

Conversely, double taxation would be allowed if there is no reason not to move to his place of work, for example. These are therefore situations that vary and are very fluctuating with the rules that are constantly being renewed. You can be in a case of double taxation without knowing it.

Obtaining information and advice on his situation is therefore not to be neglected. Contact our lawyers who can give you useful information and advice to protect you from double taxation.

Property income of non-residents

Here, whether or not income is taxed depends entirely on the tax laws of each state that is sovereign in its territory. It is nevertheless given to note that the land income of non-residents is taxed from the moment they own land properties in the State. They are taxed according to the tax regime in which they find themselves, in fact this may vary from one person to another. Thus non-residents do not always escape tax legislation.

The principle here remains that there is no fixed scenario. The situation of non-tax residents varies from one state to another and especially over time. It is therefore advisable to be regularly informed of the situation of non-residents in the locality where you are and of the rules relating thereto. Our lawyers can provide you with all the help and information you need in the best possible conditions.

International taxation along with tax law are very important matters for each State because it denotes the very sovereignty of these States.
