Tax planning
Structuring is essential for international tax avoidance
In Google's case, a scheme known as the "Double Irish with a Dutch Sandwich" was used, which involves two Irish corporate entities (one of which is registered in Bermuda) with a Dutch entity sandwiched between them. In this way, when conducting global business, one considers "what kind of structure to build," divides the process into stages or "phases," and ultimately constructs the final structure.
The true thrill of international taxation lies in the ability to generate diverse ideas by examining the tax systems and tax treaties of various countries without being constrained by the framework of Japan alone. Going beyond the Japanese framework sparks a variety of ideas—for individuals wishing to emigrate abroad, this begins with analyzing the composition of their assets, while for corporations, it leads to ideas such as determining the optimal country in which to place a holding company.
