E-commerce Tax Planning Mr Lee Hadnum

Publisher Marketing: If you're trading via a website or are involved in other e-commerce activities there are a number of tax planning opportunities available. In some ways an e-commerce business is taxed just as any other "bricks & mortar" business. However, due to the way in which an online business operates it provides numerous tax planning opportunities, particularly when trading internationally. By avoiding having a taxable presence in a country (or by maximising deductions where there is such a presence) and given there is usually low or no withholding tax at source, taxes on e-commerce profits can be sheltered effectively. In this book we look at tax planning for all types of e-commerce businesses - from maximising deductions and deciding whether to use a company, to structuring international e-commerce tax efficiently.
