International Withholding Tax Overview

Background

Cross border assets are increasing at 16%+ per year. Over $300 billion of tax on the income from these assets is over-withheld each year and up to $2 trillion is available to recover through double tax treaties.

Based on the best selling book “Investment Withholding Tax”, this one day overview course aims to provide delegates with a picture of withholding tax as a critical asset servicing issue as well as the operational understanding of the detail and solutions available to ensure that managers have the ability to define and implement a successful service strategy for their customers. A free copy of the book will be provided to each delegate on this course.

This course is designed for corporate actions, income processing, IT, compliance, relationship management and other departmental managers with budgetary or strategic planning responsibility.
