美国扩张 – Opportunities and Challenges

Following the game-changing innovations and global digital revolution of the last 25 years, companies around the world now have unprecedented opportunities to reach new markets. The United States remains one of the most attractive markets for any company that wants to fuel its global growth, have access to investment capital and increase profits. The US is also a highly legalistic society with complex tax laws and regulations. Emerging technologies and the ways that consumers around the world access products and services continue to create grey areas in tax laws during this time of rapid progress.

Cross-border global markets

The advancement of technology has created markets without borders and businesses of all sizes have the ability to use cloud-based platforms and apps to transact and engage with people anywhere in the world. Companies can quickly and easily mass distribute products and online services, transacted with 只有 the tap of a touchscreen.

New technologies, new business models

Software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) are some of the comm只有 offered cloud-based services. With cloud-based software platforms, the user usually does not have rights, possession or interest to the software. 而不是, they pay to have access to the application itself or to products which can be downloaded or streamed from the platform. This poses a challenge in determining the character of income and whether a transaction results in a sale, lease or provision of services.
