Ties Driving Internationalization for SMEs from Azores Islands, PortugalSocial Ties Driving Internationalization for SMEs from Azores Islands, Portugal <br><br>A recent study of a small fish exporter from the <b>Azores Islands</b>, an autonomous Portuguese archipelago in the North Atlantic, some 900 miles from the European mainland, offers useful insights on the key drivers of <b>internationalization </b>for <a href="http://www.companies-home.com">companies</a> based on small islands. It illustrates the critical role of <a href="http://www.web-management.org">social </a>ties in guiding and supporting island-based SMEs towards successful <b>internationalization</b>. Often challenged by „isolation‟ and distance from the core economies, and by dis-economies of scale and high transportation cost, these SMEs from small islands tend to exhibit relatively low <a href="http://www.tax-international.com/es">international</a> involvement. The resultant economic weakness associated with such islands often fuels emigration. In the case of the small fish exporter from the Azores Islands investigated by Camara and Simeos (2008), this meant access to major emigrant communities in Canada (British Columbia and Quebec) and the United States (California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island) among others. There is evidence, however, that some island-based SMEs leverage the network of family and <b>social </b>ties existing between those remaining on the islands and those that emigrated to compete in <b>international</b> markets.<br> Source: Camara and Simeos (2008)<br><br> Business Taxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17312911547306855072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825543266547475706.post-73937705812222771962011-03-14T05:45:00.001-07:002011-03-14T05:45:34.114-07:00Growth Motives.Growth Motives. <br><br>Growth <a href="http://franchise-opportunities.braxton-group.com">opportunities</a> associated with <a href="http://www.internationallaw.tel">international</a> markets were identified as a key driver of firm <b>internationalization</b> in several recent studies. Orser et al. (2008), for example, <a href="http://www.reports-books.com">reports</a> say that after allowing for the impacts of firm size and sector, Canadian legal firms whose owners had expressed growth intentions were more than twice as likely to export, than those whose owners did not indicate growth ambitions. Firms‟ <b>overseas</b> venturing decision also seems to be motivated by a need for business growth, profits, an increased market size, a stronger market position, and to reduce dependence on a single or smaller number of markets. The possibility of growth in other markets and increased profit <b>opportunities</b> from international expansion were highlighted as key stimuli for exporting among the Australian, British, Spanish, Swedish, and US firms investigated in recent studies.<br> <br> Business

A passport and work permit (if any) will normally be requested from the applicant when opening a foreign currency account in Thailand. In addition, certain supporting documents, such as relevant pay slip or loan agreement, must be submitted to the authorized agent. Generally, non-residents may open and maintain a foreign currency account with authorized agents in Thailand. The funds to be deposited into such foreign currency account by nonresidents must be from abroad or received from a resident for payment of its obligation (e.g. salary paid by resident employer) or borrowed from the authorized agents. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";" lang="EN-US">Even if there is no restriction under the Exchange Control Act as to the foreign currency to be deposited and maintained in the foreign currency account in Thailand, only accounts denominated in certain major foreign currencies such as USD, JPY, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, DKK, CHF, SGD and HKD are available (depending primarily on which authorized agent such foreign currency account is to be opened and maintained). Each authorized agent may also specify the minimum amounts required for opening of a foreign currency account (savings, fixed deposit, or current, as the case may be) with it.<o:p></o:p></span></p> Business Taxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17312911547306855072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825543266547475706.post-8173793718398123772011-03-04T04:24:00.000-08:002011-03-04T04:24:00.436-08:00Legal Concepts<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;

While for direct taxes, it is mainly defined by the OECD Model Convention, the <strong>European VAT Directive</strong> and its implementing Regulation provide an EU-wide approach for VAT.<br> Difficulties arise as terminology and definitions in indirect and direct tax diverge. Moreover, countries have implemented and interpreted the EU and OECD rules in a different way, impacting on issues like cross-border reorganisations, transfer pricing, taxation of dividends and interest and royalties, tax residence, temporary and permanent transfer of assets, place of supply and VAT liability.<br> In both direct and indirect tax, the concept of <strong>Permanent Establishment</strong> has undergone very recent changes: The 2010 changes to the OECD Model Convention and Commentary, and in particular the new Art. 7, will be adopted in national law, as speakers from the <strong>Netherlands</strong> and <strong>Germany</strong> will report. The effect of the new definition on treaties with other countries will also be considered.<br> Some of this topic is addressed in the new book "<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=european+union+direct+taxes">European Union Direct Taxes</a>", by the <strong>International Tax Professor Salvador Trinxet Llorca</strong>.<br> In indirect tax, the current more important issue is the practical consequences of the adoption of the Regulation implementing the EU VAT Directive in January 2011.<br
