3 Introduction to International Tax What is International Tax? No income taxes are international; There is no global tax levying law; There is no International Tax court; All taxes are levied under domestic law o federal/national level; o provincial/state/cantonal level; and/or o local/municipal government level.
4 Introduction to International Tax, cont. What is International Tax? International Tax comprises o the cross-border aspects of domestic tax; o the tax aspects of customary international tax law; and o tax treaty law. Objectives of International Tax: o promote fairness equal tax burdens on domestic and foreign taxpayers; o enhance domestic competitiveness and economic growth; o obtain a fair share of cross-border revenues; o ensure an equitable balance between capital export neutrality (CEN) and capital import neutrality (CIN); and o to prevent double taxation.
5 Overview: Inbound and outbound investments Must be looked at from a South African perspective: o Outbound: a South African resident exports capital, goods or services to a foreign country; and o Inbound: a non-south African imports capital, goods or services into South Africa. Outbound: generally involves the taxation of the resident on a resident basis; Inbound: generally involves the taxation of the non-resident on a source basis; Distinguish between trading with a foreign country, and trading in a foreign country; Capital export neutrality (CEN): tax laws neither encourage nor discourage the outflow of capital (e.g. CFC rules); and Capital input neutrality (CIN): tax laws neither encourage nor discourage the inflow of capital (e.g. interest withholding tax).
6 Overview: Regulatory environment Domestic direct and indirect tax laws; Foreign direct and indirect tax laws; Bilateral tax agreements (e.g. DTA); Multilateral tax agreements (e.g. SACU); Other international trade & investment protection agreements; and Others, e.g. SADC, EU, AU, WTO.
7 Overview: International double taxation Double, triple or multiple taxation is accepted as an impediment to international trade; Double taxation may be economic (same income/different taxpayer) or judicial (same income/same taxpayer); and An objective of international tax levying, and of international tax planning, is to avoid double tax.
8 Overview: Elimination of international double taxation Can be addressed in domestic legislation through unilateral relief or in a tax treaty; Various methods are used unilaterally, including exemptions, deductions, credits and delays; Two main tax treaty (bilateral) methods are used, namely, the exemption method, and the credit method; and Unusual methods include incentives (domestic/unilateral) and tax sparing (tax treaty/bilateral).
9 Overview: Role of the International Tax adviser Domestic tax knowledge is essential; International Tax planning may be defensive or offensive; Involves tax efficient structuring advice within the laws of all the relevant jurisdictions; Involves the reduction of the incidence of taxation on a global basis (all jurisdictions); There are certain specialisations within international tax, like transfer pricing; Detailed knowledge of tax treaty interpretation is essential; Exchange control knowledge is essential in a South African context; and Anti-avoidance considerations should be noted.
10 Jurisdiction to Tax: General Introduction Connecting factors; Source vs. residence; Citizenship/nationality/domicile; and Source-plus/residence-minus.
11 Jurisdiction to Tax: Source Introduction; Actual source: o General principles: case law; and o Specific types of income: case law. Deemed source: o Income; and o Capital gains. Source in a treaty context.
