Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the benefit of outsourced international tax and accounting services?
Staying compliant is a task that countless businesses, small and large, get help from professional tax advisory and accounting firms like BoardRoom. On an international playing field, both the complexity and importance of compliance are only multiplied.
Our global accounting and tax services can help you gain a better understanding of your company’s finances, navigate tricky tax matters, and identify areas for further growth and cost-saving. All this is done to free up time for your own internal team to focus on growth directly.
2. Why is it important to maintain compliance?
Businesses, especially those operating internationally, run the risk of unintentionally filing tax or accounting reports incorrectly. To stay compliant is of utmost importance if you want to avoid hefty fines or worse for your business – potentially across several different jurisdictions.
3. What compliance challenges do international businesses face?
When expanding your business globally, there’s a long list of hurdles you will have to jump over to maintain compliance. Businesses operating with or without a representative office will have varying tax obligations, while some countries utilise a value-added tax (VAT) system that will need to be navigated as well. Beyond this, managing a global team when it comes to matters like payroll can become troublesome without the proper infrastructure.
