The Complexity of Taxation Across the United States
When it comes to state-by-state taxation, regulations can vary drastically from state to state. States' approach to taxation, their degree of conformity to federal tax codes, or even the types of tax systems they employ can change rapidly.
State tax systems encompass a range of tax types and rates, including a variety of corporate income taxes, state tax, property tax, average tax rate, capital gains, and corporate tax rates. IBFD's expertise can provide you with a wealth of tailored resources to help you navigate state-level tax systems.

Understanding Cross Border Tax
As the OECD implements new developments with Pillar 1, Pillar 2, Permanent Establishment, BEPS, Digital Taxation, Transfer Pricing, and other major international tax standards there are constant changes that individuals, businesses, and tax professionals alike must abide by.
No matter where you're doing business in the world, the unique tax systems and rates can have a great impact on you. For example, companies in America with subsidiaries in Asia can expect a competitive corporate tax rate in low-tax jurisdictions like Singapore or Hong Kong.
This is helpful to attract business and investment opportunities. While countries in Africa rely heavily on indirect taxes, such as VAT, and implement special tax incentives and preferential tax rates for companies doing business in the mining and energy sector. These are major considerations that require in-depth research during cross-border tax planning.

Taxes by Country: Comparing Regional Tax Systems
As a tax practitioner, understanding tax rates in different countries, regions, and states or provinces is of paramount importance. Tax rates, accounting practices, and reporting requirements vary significantly from one country to another and can be highly dependent on the facts and circumstances of a transaction, which is why it's important to ensure you're in compliance wherever you or your clients operate.
Failing to comply can result in major penalties and consequences. When you're on top of the latest tax rates and the relevant reporting requirements, you can ensure your clients or company meets their obligations and mitigate any future risks or tax liability, including penalties and interests. Access to expert analysis of tax treaties and domestic sales tax laws is key to maintaining tax compliance.
The purpose of a treaty is to avoid double taxation or avoiding no tax at all. These factors can affect the amount of taxes paid. For example, under Swiss domestic law, dividends distributed by Swiss companies to non-resident shareholders are subject to a 35% federal withholding tax; however, the United States – Switzerland Income Tax Treaty provides for preferential dividend withholding income tax rates as low as 5% for US companies holding stock in Swiss companies.
These preferential treaty rates do not apply to every situation, but they show the importance of understanding international tax rates.
