Residence Planning and Relocation

​
Bender Brothers & Co.'s relocation team has longstanding experience with residence planning in a number of European and Commonwealth jurisdictions.  The firm’s international infrastructure can facilitate access to leading cross-border expertise.  The prevailing approach of tax authorities in the developed world is to prioritise ‘substance over form’ when considering fiscal domicile.  Physical presence has now become the deciding factor for most rulings. 
 
When moving a family to a new country, the logistical considerations may appear daunting at first. Our office can assist throughout the relocation process; such as with choosing the right jurisdiction, securing residency, identifying suitable accommodation, selecting schools, opening bank accounts and providing local knowledge of the new environment.  Finally, effective relinquishment of one’s former tax residence should not be overlooked.  Bender Brother’s & Co.’s strong legal network amongst leading offshore specialists can be invaluable for this most important step in the relocation process.
