Tax restructuring services for multinationals

Transform your global tax position with strategic restructuring solutions

Operating across multiple jurisdictions while managing complex tax implications can feel like navigating a minefield. If you’re a multinational corporation struggling with inefficient structures, rising tax burdens, or compliance headaches across different tax regimes, you’re not alone.

The good news? There’s a smarter way forward.

At Kreston Global, we specialise in tax restructuring services that help multinationals like yours optimise their global tax position while staying compliant across all operating territories. Our proven approach has saved clients millions in tax liabilities and streamlined their international operations.

Why multinational tax restructuring matters more than ever

The international tax landscape has never been more complex. With tax authorities worldwide tightening regulations around profit shifting and base erosion, multinationals face unprecedented scrutiny. Add in evolving transfer pricing policies, new tax laws, and stricter substance requirements, and it’s clear that yesterday’s structures may be tomorrow’s liabilities.

Here’s what many multinationals are dealing with:

  • Fragmented shareholding structures that create unnecessary tax leakage costs
  • Inefficient holding company arrangements across multiple jurisdictions
  • Tax compliance nightmares with conflicting tax reporting requirements
  • Missed opportunities for legitimate tax savings and tax reliefs
  • Poor profit allocation strategies that increase overall tax burden

Our comprehensive tax restructuring solutions

Strategic group restructuring

Our group restructuring experts work with your corporate group to identify inefficiencies and design optimal structures. We focus on entity rationalisation, streamlining your operations while maximising tax efficiencies. Whether you need business restructuring or complex group asset transfers, we’ve got the expertise to guide you through every step.

International tax planning and optimisation

International tax planning isn’t just about compliance – it’s about strategic positioning. Our team conducts thorough tax analyses to identify opportunities for tax efficiency improvements. We help you navigate different tax regimes while ensuring full compliance with local tax regulations and tax obligations.

Transfer pricing and intellectual property strategies

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical tax restructuring project take? Most tax structuring projects take 6-18 months depending on complexity. We work efficiently while ensuring all tax implications are properly considered and tax compliance requirements are met throughout the process.

Will restructuring trigger immediate tax liabilities? Not necessarily. Our experts identify available tax reliefs and structure transactions to minimise immediate tax implications. We always consider the timing and tax treatment of any proposed changes.

How do you ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions? Our global network means we have local experts in each relevant jurisdiction who understand specific tax regulations and tax reporting requirements. This ensures your restructured entity maintains proper substance and meets all tax obligations.

What’s the typical ROI on tax restructuring projects? While results vary, many clients see annual tax savings that exceed the project investment within 2-3 years. Beyond direct savings, clients benefit from reduced tax risk and improved operational efficiency.

How do you handle transfer pricing implications? We develop comprehensive transfer pricing policies that align with your restructured operations. Our approach ensures profit allocation reflects economic substance while optimising your overall tax position.
