Tax Strategies for Structuring Latin American Business Entities New Report Announced

CONCORD, Mass., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- WorldTrade Executive, a Thomson Reuters brand, announces the publication of its latest addition to its Latin American Business Library: Tax Strategies for Structuring Latin American Business Entities, 2nd Edition.

Taxes can have an enormous impact on the profitability of a transaction. For example, a case study by John Salerno and Julian Vasquez of PricewaterhouseCoopers notes that while most companies are keenly aware of the tax implications relating to the sale of a direct or indirect subsidiary to a third party, many do not realize that an intra-group transfer of shares in connection with, for example, the formation of a regional holding company or post-deal integration planning, may also trigger taxes in certain Latin American countries.

This is the sort of practical advice provided in the book. Other key topics include:

• Tax Treatment of Management Fees and Other Corporate Services in Latin America
• Tax Issues Facing Supply Arrangements
• Recent Trends in Transfer Pricing in the Region
• Planning Opportunities under Tax Treaties
• Structuring Latin American Investments via Spanish ETVE Holding Companies
• Debt/Equity Strategies

There is also country specific coverage such as:

• Key Tax Issues to be Considered by Multinationals When Investing in Argentina
• Dealing with Tax Audits and Tax Litigation in Brazil
• The Use of Tax Losses-A Brazilian Perspective
• Tax Developments Affecting M&A in Chile
• Calculating Corporate Estimated Income Tax Payments in Mexico
• Recent Amendments to the Tax Appeals Process in Mexico: Can They Save You Money?
• Key Tax Issues for Multinationals When Investing in Peru
