Tax

As Offshore jurisdictions like The Bahamas continue their transition from no tax jurisdictions to low tax jurisdictions, it has become exponentially more important for businesses to obtain expert tax advice during the negotiation stage of transactions to ensure that the transactions are structured having regard to the changing tax environment.

The Higgs & Johnson Tax Group provides sound, knowledgeable legal advice and representation for all of our clients tax needs, including with respect to the following:

• Guiding clients through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and reorganisations and advising on the tax implications of the contemplated transactions;
• Advising clients on value added tax, stamp duty and real property tax matters in relation to both residential and commercial transactions; and
• Advising clients on international tax matters, including compliance with Tax Information Exchange Agreements, FATCA, CRS and Multinational Reporting requirements.

Through our local tax experts and our global collaborations, we can help our clients to confidently navigate the ever changing and increasingly complex tax environment.
