As business becomes increasingly globalized, having access to accurate and relevant information on foreign tax systems is critical—both to managing existing structures effectively and when changes to rationalize operations are being contemplated. Obtaining such information and guidance on a timely basis is an enormous challenge for US companies doing business in multiple jurisdictions. This task is made still more exacting by the need to understand how foreign tax rules interact with those of the United States.

Hard copies may be obtained from your Deloitte Tax contact or a member of the ICE team.

The ICE  country essentials are drawn from the larger Deloitte Highlights series reviewing the tax landscape of nearly 150 jurisdictions. The Essentials serve as companion pieces to the Deloitte Taxation and Investment Guides, which help potential investors understand the investment climate, operating conditions, and tax system of most major trading jurisdictions in greater detail.
