NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 9, 2010) - Jeanne P. Goulet, CPA, a Senior Consultant in the Services for Emerging Growth Companies and Entrepreneurs Group at Marks Paneth & Shron LLP, has published an article in the Marks Paneth & Shron Library describing the role of jurisdiction in the tax structure of an emerging business.
According to Ms. Goulet, entrepreneurs whose businesses fit one of the following criteria must understand how international tax laws affect their business and which countries have the rights to tax their future profits as well as that of their owners and employees:
- Engage in cross-border buy or sell or rent transactions;
- Outsource the development of intellectual property outside of the home base;
- Have employees spend time outside their home country; and
- Strive to establish a beachhead in another country.
In the article, Ms. Goulet highlights:
- The concept of jurisdiction;
- Taxing rights of a country based on the principles of nationality and territoriality;
- Outbound versus inbound transactions;
- Common double taxation scenarios; and
- Methods of alleviating double taxation.
The full text of Ms. Goulet's article, "A Look at Jurisdiction: Who Will Tax My Business?" is found online at the Marks Paneth & Shron library.
