Advising on international taxation involves the reduction of tax liabilities in many different countries by the use of double tax treaties.  The tax planning in this area involves a knowledge of local law in the relevant jurisdiction but also the operation of any double tax treaty between that jurisdiction and the country where it is intended that the profits will ultimately be received.  There are some tried and tested structures to reduce the international tax burden in many jurisdictions; however, because local laws and double tax treaties change so regularly it is important to take advice and to have such advice updated regularly to avoid unexpected tax exposures.
