We help multinational companies and businesses expanding overseas design optimal, tax-compliant group structures, such as holding companies. Our team will make sure your international business structure meets your commercial needs while managing tax exposure and compliance across different jurisdictions.

International supply chains must be efficient to drive value. This doesn’t just mean logistics, but tax planning too. Unnecessary tax costs, establishment risks and various VAT/customs rules should all be factored into your supply chain planning, and that’s where we can help!

In close collaboration with Gravitate Corporate Finance, we can provide clear and effective pre-transaction advice to support international mergers and acquisitions. Our support includes tax due diligence and post-acquisition tax planning.

Tax disputes with HMRC can be stressful enough to manage; when overseas jurisdictions are involved too, it takes real expertise to resolve them. That’s where our support comes in. We will help you resolve matters quickly and favourably, protecting your reputation and minimising risk.

If you are setting up a new branch or otherwise expanding into a new country, there are lots of critical tax preparation steps to take.

Gravitate can help you with each of these, including understanding local tax rules, choosing the right business entities, indirect tax rules, transfer pricing and setting you up for full compliance.

We can help you structure any expatriate arrangements properly, ensuring both UK and international compliance with aspects like residency and double taxation. We will support you and your team with a clear and well-communicated plan.

If you import goods, there are inevitable costs and compliance risks involved. We can help you check your import flows to minimise custom duties, reclaim import VAT wherever possible, and make sure any available tax reliefs are used.
