Cross-border tax planning for owners and businesses

We help build an ownership structure and tax model between Ukraine and the EU so that the business, personal assets, and banks “speak the same language.”
When business and residency are in different countries
When business, sources of income, assets, and tax residency are spread across multiple countries, each decision begins to affect several jurisdictions at once. Banks, tax authorities, and regulators assess such a structure comprehensively, and without a unified logic it becomes a source of constant inquiries, freezes, and unexpected obligations. We help turn this picture into a manageable system.
Typical situations
Business in Ukraine
Holding in the EU
Family living in a third country
Portfolio via a foreign broker
CFC and CRS

Cross-border tax planning for owners and businesses

Cross-border tax planning is relevant for owners whose companies, assets, and family are spread across several countries. A business may generate profits in Ukraine and the EU, hold cash in foreign accounts, invest through foreign brokers, while the owner changes countries of residence. Without a holistic structure, this leads to chaotic tax obligations, risks of double taxation, and questions from banks and regulators.

LigLex helps build a transparent and manageable tax model at the intersection of jurisdictions. At the start, we map the business and personal assets: legal entities, shareholdings, real estate, financial instruments, and sources of income. Then we analyze the tax residency status of the owner and key beneficiaries, applicable double tax treaties, and the implications of CRS and CFC rules.

Based on this picture, scenarios are modeled: where it is optimal to locate the holding, how to distribute dividends and interest, which types of income can be structured through other jurisdictions and which are better left in the current country. For each option, the effective tax rate, substance requirements, reporting, and compliance are calculated.

The next stage is designing the structure: the chain of companies, allocation of functions and risks, financing rules (equity vs debt), and intercompany agreements. Special attention is paid to resilience to change: BEPS initiatives, changes in banks’ approaches to KYC/AML, and the possible relocation of the owner or heirs.

The result is a roadmap: the target ownership structure and tax model, the sequence of transition steps, and a checklist for internal finance and legal teams. We support the implementation, adapt internal policies and management reporting to the new structure, and also help prepare for dialogue with banks, investors, and tax authorities in Ukraine and the EU.
