Frequently Asked Questions

Is analysis required before paying a dividend to a foreign company?

Yes. Before paying a dividend to a foreign company, it is necessary to consider the application of a double taxation treaty, withholding tax obligations, and documentation required by the bank or Tax Administration.

When is withholding tax applied?

Withholding tax applies to certain types of payments to foreign recipients — dividends, interest, royalties, services, and other fees — in accordance with domestic regulations and international treaties.

What is a certificate of residence and why is it important?

A certificate of residence proves that a legal entity or individual is a resident of another country. It is used to apply more favourable withholding tax rates and avoid double taxation in accordance with a treaty.

Do transfer pricing rules apply only to large companies?

No. Transfer pricing rules apply to all transactions between related parties, regardless of company size. It is important that prices are in line with arm's-length conditions and adequately documented.
