Taxes Committee (Lead)

Description

Many tax regimes apply markedly different rates of tax to dividend income and capital gains. Also, many regimes apply withholding taxes to dividend payments and the like. Finally, the repatriation of funds to a top holding company from its overseas subsidiaries may be difficult without material tax costs. These tax factors play a material part in the structuring of returns of funds to shareholders. The panel will examine structuring options for returns of funds from and to a variety of jurisdictions.
