Corporate global mobility: flips by Israeli tech companies

One of the current trends within the Israeli tech startup environment is that startups are increasingly considering restructuring their corporate structures by placing a non-Israeli company at the top of their holding structure, often referred to as a ‘flip’. While this can involve various non-Israeli jurisdictions, it is particularly common for the resulting parent company to be based in the US. The reasons behind this trend include tax incentives, investor preferences and regulatory advantages. The typical process of a flip involves the transfer of rights by rightsholders in the Israeli company to a newly formed foreign parent company, often creating immediate tax implications for Israeli stakeholders. However, the Israel Tax Authority has the ability to offer a favourable tax decision in this regard that can exempt Israeli rightsholders from tax, provided certain conditions are met. This decision by the regulator may also have a potential impact on the company’s future exit strategies and tax obligations. The implications of flips should, therefore, be carefully considered by startups and investors.

Borderless workforce and global mobility: Indian legal considerations

The landscape of the workplace is evolving due to the meteoric rise of remote work and a globalised talent pool in the last few years. The benefits of a borderless workforce working remotely without geographical restraints extend to both organisations and the workforce alike. Organisations are able to access a global pool of talent whereas the workforce appreciate the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere. Indian employment laws, though technical, offer a fair amount of flexibility for engaging a foreign workforce in India or vice versa when sending an Indian workforce abroad. However, organisations should certainly have a clear understanding of employment law, social security, tax, exchange control and immigration law requirements before moving forward. A legally thought through approach goes a long way in mitigating risks and treading the right path with greater awareness.

To attain this objective the CBN has adopted several initiatives including microfinance banking, agent banking, tiered ‘know your customer’ requirements and mobile banking.
