It is an enormously complex task to understand and deal with the tax laws of different
countries. KPMG, however, due to its worldwide structure, can help its clients
when it comes to transactions which cover more than one
jurisdiction.
Informed decision making in this area requires knowledge, correct interpretation of local and foreign tax
regulations and an understanding of the way they interact.
KPMG helps both foreign and domestic enterprises identify the impact of taxes on their businesses,
in Brazil or abroad, as well as structure investments and businesses, in order to achieve tax savings.
These analyses include determining the implications of Brazilian and foreign taxes on operations,
such as:
investments made in Brazil by non-residents;
investments made abroad by Brazilian residents;
investment or business acquisitions and/or disposals, made in Brazil or internationally;
corporate restructuring;
transactions conducted between residents and non-residents of Brazil (services, technology transfer, use of software licenses, royalties, leasing, import/export, etc.);
loans to local companies (investments in corporate capital, domestic or foreign loans, debt conversion, etc.);
rules and regulations provided for in international accords or treaties;
Brazilian Central Bank foreign capital registration; and
remittances to and inflows of funds from abroad (dividends, capital gains, capital decreases, etc.).
