transactions flow, tax planning helps reduce the cumulative impact of
taxation.
➢ Here, the prime objective is to receive the after-tax flows of overseas

deductions, allowances, and exemptions as well as the different tax
rates applying to different sources of income within a single jurisdiction.
➢ Tax planning for international taxation takes into account the
interrelationships between two or more tax systems, the impact of
double taxation legally and economically, and the tax compliance rules in
several countries.
➢ There are also other concerns such as tax incentives and exemptions
for foreign income, the availability of foreign tax credits, use of tax
treaties, and anti-avoidance measures.
