Tax rates might be fixed but the rules and the risks aren't.Whatever your view about paying tax, like most people you probably want to minimise the amount you pay and the risks associated with getting it wrong. Ignoring the costs and the risks will cost you more in the long run.With ever-changing tax rules and the continuous growth of business, it is very difficult to keep track of all the opportunities and pitfalls in the field of local and overseas taxes.
