Management and Control — Meaning & Practical Guide
The test many countries use to tax a foreign company as local if its real decisions are made onshore — board process and meeting records are the defence.
Management and Control in Practice
The test many countries use to tax a foreign company as local if its real decisions are made onshore — board process and meeting records are the defence. In live engagements this shows up at three moments: when the jurisdiction is chosen, when the bank's compliance team reviews the file, and when annual obligations fall due. Getting it right at moment one makes moments two and three routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Management and Control?
The test many countries use to tax a foreign company as local if its real decisions are made onshore — board process and meeting records are the defence.
Why does it matter in practice?
Because banks, registrars and tax authorities apply this concept to every file. Structures that ignore it get declined, penalised or unwound — structures built around it sail through.
