Before and after<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the 90s, entrepreneurs started their expansion process and put together the business conglomerate as needs arose. They then realized that this was a costly way to expand, due to the restructuring service and high tax contingencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time, however, has brought about new opportunities, and today\u2019s trends move in a different direction. Entrepreneurs who dream big think globally and launch their expansion after having conducted tax planning, which is sustained in time and minimizes all sorts of contingencies. Although this may seem like a risky step to take, with proper planning, having a branch abroad today has become a simple task which, generally, does not require large budgets for offices and\/or personnel, but simply incorporating a company and operating from the country of origin.<\/strong> Nonetheless, this decision calls for careful prior analysis and validation by the financial department, because it\u2019s not simply studying tax matters from the stance of the parent company, but also from the position of the operating companies, thus harmonizing the tax and financial circuit of the global structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tax burdens to look for<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although there will always be taxes which are specific to a particular jurisdiction, there exist a few that are common to all countries in the region. <\/strong>Some of them are the Income Tax, the Value-Added Tax and withholdings for services provided between countries. NOTICE: what usually changes in each country is the tax rate. If the entrepreneur is at an advanced stage in the expansion process, i.e. if it is operating in more than two countries, it is essential to consider the income tax at the global level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that the tax impact is coordinated by countries through treaties to avoid double taxation (i.e. so that taxes on earnings are not levied twice) or to lower the tax rates. States make specific agreements to the benefit of companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage that must be considered is Promotion Laws which grant tax and fiscal benefits, such as Argentina\u2019s Knowledge-based Economy Law (in Spanish, LEC). The countries in the region are talent hunters and they seek to offer incentives for companies \u2014 especially tech companies \u2014 to set up within their borders, so as to facilitate the process. Other noteworthy examples are Chile\u2019s \u201cOne-Day Company Incorporation Law\u201d and the recently passed Entrepreneurs\u2019 Law in Uruguay, both of which offer benefits similar to those stipulated in the Argentine Entrepreneurs\u2019 Law.  We should mention that in these three countries there exists the Sociedad por Acciones Simplificadas<\/em> (Simplified Joint-Stock Company), a business structure under which a company can be incorporated with fewer requisites and lower costs than those of the Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada<\/em> (Limited Liability Company) or Corporations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
