First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01Where is the asset, and who legally owns it today?
  2. 02Can a foreign owner hold it there?
  3. 03What tax arises on holding, income and sale?
  4. 04How will it pass on death or sale?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Check title and ownership restrictions locally.
  2. Step 2Design the holding structure with tax in each country.
  3. Step 3Register ownership and security correctly.
  4. Step 4Plan for income, sale and succession.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • Different laws of contractParties sign one commercial agreement but disagree which law governs duties, damages and remedies
  • Cross-border tax residenceExecutives or entities may be treated as resident in different jurisdictions
