Cross-border
structuring

Eticas provides comprehensive support for individuals, families and companies planning a move to a new jurisdiction. We offer tax planning as well as relocation assistance and administrative support.

Tax planning

Moving across a border for tax purposes can be a complicated process, and fiscal implications are predetermined before a return is ever filed. Our team focuses on working with local authorities, determining status, identifying terms for applicable lump-sum arrangements, and then develops the strategies alongside the ongoing discipline to maintain that position in the future.

Even in unusual situations, our team prepares and negotiates ruling requests with the appropriate authorities, ensuring a stable and clean transition.

Administration and relocation

While a change of residency might be decided in a single meeting, the list of requirements is extensive. Our team helps navigate this by taking on registrations, insurance, school enrolment, payroll, and permits for those accompanying you. We stay on top of these processes well after you arrive, as many of these require regular maintenance.
