FOR ADVISORS SERVING BUSINESSES THAT SELL INTERNATIONALLY
Every cross-border deal, tax-checked before it's signed.
Tax Canary enables you to check the tax on your client's international service deals before the price is agreed and it's too late. Add international tax screening to your offering.
THE PROBLEM
Support your clients when they're going global.
Your clients sell consulting, engineering, technical or software services across borders. Each of their deals could trigger withholding tax, irrecoverable VAT, or a taxable presence in another country, and the moment to handle it is before the price is agreed, not when they've been short-paid, or payment is delayed. But international tax research is time intensive, so deals get priced and agreed and the tax issues aren't identified in time to mitigate them.
↓ Margin eroded ↓ Payment delayed ↓ Mitigation missed
