Services Withholding Tax Reclaim
Double taxation doesn’t have to mean double the cost
What is service withholding tax?
Service or royalty withholding taxes are incurred by businesses that perform services or earn royalty income in a country where they do not have a permanent establishment or registration. Due to the complexities of double taxation agreements in multiple jurisdictions, companies neglect to claim their service withholding tax because they’re unable to acquire the correct certifications necessary.
Your business can incur service withholding tax through the following circumstances …
You provide services in a country where you are a non-resident which may leave you in a position to be double taxed.
As a foreign supplier, you need to apply the due withholding tax rate to the receiver of your services, but you are unsure if you have done this correctly.
Your business is planning new market penetration and you’re considering the implications of withholding taxes in those new jurisdictions.
You have received services from foreign vendors, and you may be required to withhold tax on these foreign payments.
