With tax pressure steadily increasing, many individuals and entrepreneurs are reassessing how and where they structure their income, assets, and long-term residency. Against this backdrop, we are organizing an exclusive webinar for our clients focusing on international tax planning and relocation strategies, both within Europe and beyond.
This event is not open to the general public and is available exclusively to clients of our firm.
The webinar will be held in collaboration with Iven DE HOON, founder and driving force behind NoMoreTax. With more than 25 years of practical experience in international tax structuring and relocation planning, Iven has advised numerous individuals and entrepreneurs on cross-border planning strategies. He is also the author of dozens of e-books on international taxation and wealth structuring. His approach is strongly practical and experience-driven.
During this session, we will walk participants through the key decisions involved in international tax planning, including tax residency, relocation strategies, and the structuring of international activities. The webinar will provide a structured overview of attractive jurisdictions worldwide, the main tax systems currently in place, and the practical considerations involved when relocating abroad.
Participants will gain practical insights into how international structures work in practice and which legal, fiscal, and personal factors must be taken into account when planning an international move.
