As businesses operate across multiple jurisdictions, international tax challenges become more complex. One of the most common and costly risks is double taxation, where the same income is taxed in more than one country.

We are pleased to share details of two upcoming external webinars hosted by the Russell Bedford International Tax Centre of Excellence. These sessions will provide a clear and practical overview of how double taxation arises, and how businesses and individuals can manage and mitigate these risks when operating internationally.

We are running two live sessions to accommodate for different time zones. Register here for the Americas webinar taking place on Wednesday 20 May: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/Sl0641dWTvS5g16_684eAw #/registration
