What is an International Tax ?
Multi-national companies often manufacture, produce, and sell their goods in multiple countries and jurisdictions. In these scenarios, a company may be liable to pay corporate income tax in different countries. These taxation implications will depend on the specific actions and financial activities of the company in these countries.
International Tax Professionals are responsible for calculating the company’s tax liability and ensuring that it is compliant across every jurisdiction. Several countries have put international tax agreements in place to facilitate cross-border commerce to prevent companies from facing double taxation.
An International Tax Director will usually be familiar with several other jurisdictions outside of the UK. This knowledge may include a second language skill and knowledge of the country’s domestic and international tax regulations and systems. An International Tax Director will determine how these regulations impact the business and how the overall strategy can be adapted. Some companies may benefit from moving their manufacturing to another country or opening a new manufacturing plant elsewhere that has more friendly corporation taxes.
They’ll interact with senior company management to determine how to navigate taxation regulations to avoid higher financial penalties and taxes. For example, an International Tax Director may recommend that the company reduce its manufacturing in a specific country if it operates on a tiered tax bracket.
Responsibilities of an International Tax Director

Challenges Facing International Tax Directors
The current economic situation and global picture pose several challenges for international tax directors. These challenges are faced by every company that operates on a multinational basis with an International Tax Director being best placed to lead on them.
1. The Impact of COVID-19
Over 130 jurisdictions have made significant changes to their tax codes since the pandemic to mitigate further negative economic consequences. The pandemic has resulted in revised requirements for issues like tax filings and collections, along with the suspension of tax audits and further leniency on tax litigation.
2. Staying On Top of European Commission FAST Rules
The goal of the European Commission’s “FAST” strategy is to streamline taxation and enable companies to adapt to business technology. The Tax Action Plan is due to be fully rolled out by 2024.
