The type of entity selected for a business venture has dramatic and long lasting tax consequences, whether the business venture involved is an entrepreneurial start-up or a multi-billion joint venture between existing business organizations. While many non-tax factors such as the desired governance, ownership flexibility, residence of the parties, exit strategies and limited liability are taken into account in deciding upon the desired type of entity, tax considerations play a major role in such decision process.
The Tax Group advises its clients, whether individuals or multinationals, on the selection of the appropriate entity form for the particular transaction or venture involved, and assist in the formation of the applicable entity decided upon, including contractual joint ventures, partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations, trusts as well as foreign entities.
