OUR SERVICES

When you work across borders, change is inevitable. Regulations evolve, as does your business. Without an optimal structure, you are at risk of an increased effective tax rate, difficulty accessing your finances, fragmented accounting practices, and ambiguity regarding important business decisions.

We can help you. We take the time to understand your business and work together with you to develop and implement structural changes to help you to minimise tax exposure and achieve your business goals.

We consult on all forms of cross-border tax planning and structuring for SMEs, both on an ongoing basis or for ad-hoc requirements.

Mergers and acquisitions are important milestones for organisations, with much at stake. M&As can be complicated and intimidating. Tax is a critical part of any deal, impacting everything from finance raising to business structure and how share and asset sales are managed. Sustain Smart can help you to develop the optimal strategy for your M&A needs.

We assist with raising finance in a tax-efficient manner, structuring share and asset sales, optimal structuring of transaction costs, undertaking tax due diligence, and providing commercial advice on investment decisions.

To successfully implement new operations, enhance business structures or improve business processes, your business might need expert guidance and support. 

Sustain Smart partners with businesses to enhance their financial structure to ensure you can minimise risk, optimise tax, and ensure effective compliance. With our extensive knowledge of tax and regulatory changes that impact your business and our international and wide-ranging/comprehensive experience in servicing organisations across different regions and sectors, we’re able to offer reliable, comprehensive, strategic solutions tailored to your unique requirements.

Sometimes your business might need a little extra support, or access to specialist skills for a particular project or period in its lifecycle. 

Sustain Smart offers ad hoc consulting services that allow you to supplement your in-house skills with expert skills when required.

We help with professional and practical support for tax, accounting, business processes, company secretarial and drafting agreements.

The many intricate tax rules that need to be applied at a transactional level, make VAT the often forgotten and neglected tax with both opportunity and risk. Many businesses overclaim VAT and run the risk of VAT assessments being raised. Or they overpay, affecting profitability.

Tax authorities are attentive to businesses failing to apply the VAT rules correctly and collect a significant amount of revenue each year through VAT audits.

Sustain Smart helps you analyse your business at a transactional level to ensure that the VAT legislation is optimised and applied correctly, preventing over- or underpayment.

WHT affects businesses with an international footprint. Careful consideration of the intricacies of the rules for each country and the Double Taxation Treaties with other countries can prove to be a mammoth and sometimes overwhelming task.

With the wealth of experience we have on the tax implications and laws associated with transacting internationally, we help you to ensure that the correct WHT rates are being applied and facilitate the process of recovering WHT paid in other countries.
