Operating across borders introduces a unique set of tax challenges that require careful planning, accurate interpretation of regulations, and a clear understanding of international tax frameworks. Whether your business involves foreign shareholders, overseas transactions, expatriate employees, or cross‑border service arrangements, international tax compliance must be managed with precision to avoid unnecessary exposure.

Maha Tax Consulting provides comprehensive International Tax Services designed to help businesses navigate complex global tax requirements while ensuring full compliance with Indonesian regulations and international standards.

Key International Tax Challenges

Cross‑border activities often create tax implications such as:

• Exposure to double taxation
• Determining tax residency for individuals and entities
• Evaluating Permanent Establishment (PE) risks
• Applying tax treaty benefits correctly
• Managing withholding tax on international payments
• Ensuring compliance for foreign‑owned companies (PMA)
• Handling expatriate tax obligations

These issues require technical expertise and accurate interpretation to avoid disputes or penalties.
