Tax Structuring

Zeelie Professional Accountants helps many clients with tax structuring.

The landscape of tax is changing rapidly. Many countries are adopting the recommendations of the OECD. New changes on the cards are bybrid tax arrangements and tax treaties and the burden of proof. What this boils down to is a deeper delve into the structures of entities. This is sure to feed in tax legislation and compliance. 

The important thing to note here is the difference between Tax evasion and Tax Avoidance. You might ask, what is the difference? Well Tax Avoidance falls within the legal tax framework and tax evasion is illegal.

Examples of Tax Avoidance (Legal tax structuring):

-        Using tax deductions;

-        Changing a business structure;

-        Establishing an offshore company in a tax haven;

-        Group structure tax analysis and restructuring

Examples of Tax evasion (Illegal and punishable with fines and/or imprisonment):

-        Non declaration of oncome, and thereby evading tax;

-        Untruthful declaration of expenses to reduce tax

-        Lying about business mileage

-        Lying about business expenses

-         Lying about medical contributions
