What to know about the G7 summit Trump is attending
Group of Seven leaders, including President Trump, will gather in Canada on Sunday. The big picture: The meeting will take place on the heels of Israel's attack on Iran, while the U.S. faces deepening divides with other allies over Gaza, Ukraine and his sweeping tariffs, especially the one between the U.S. and Canada. When and where is the 2025 G7 summit? The 51st summit will take place from Sunday to Tuesday in Alberta, Canada. It will be held in the remote resort town of Kananaskis, which previously hosted a G8 summit in 2002. Who will attend the G7 summit? The G7 includes leaders from the United States, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain. The European Union is typically also in attendance, along with other heads of state who aren't a part of the Group of Seven but were invited by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed he'll be there, with a meeting expected between him and Trump months after their last in-person meeting during Pope Francis' funeral. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will be present and said she, too, plans to meet with Trump. First-timers will include German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Canada and U.S. tensions Trump is traveling to Canada after repeatedly threatening the northern neighbor's sovereignty. Flashback: During his first term, Trump blew up the G7 meeting in 2018, which was also held in Canada, tearing up an agreement reached by the world leaders.

The Essentials of Cross-Border Taxation: Understanding the Complexities for International Business
In today's interconnected economy, businesses are expanding beyond domestic markets to tap into global opportunities. While international growth can open new revenue streams, it also introduces a new layer of financial complexity: cross-border taxation. Navigating different tax jurisdictions, avoiding double taxation, and ensuring compliance with ever-changing global tax regulations are just a few of the challenges multinational businesses face. This article explores the essentials of cross-border taxation, providing insights into how international businesses can manage their tax obligations efficiently and strategically. Cross-border taxation refers to the tax implications and obligations that arise when income or business activities span more than one country. This could involve a company that sells products abroad, employs remote workers internationally, or owns subsidiaries in foreign countries. Each country has its own tax laws, which may overlap or conflict with those of other jurisdictions. As a result, businesses must understand how different tax systems interact to stay compliant and financially optimized. Operating across multiple tax jurisdictions increases the complexity of financial operations. Missteps in cross-border tax planning can lead to: Double taxation (being taxed twice on the same income) Penalties and interest for non-compliance Reputational risks Increased costs due to inefficient tax structures For businesses engaged in international trade, services, or investments, effective cross-border tax management is not just about compliance—it's a critical component of strategic financial planning. Double taxation occurs when two or more countries claim taxing rights over the same income. For example, a Canadian company earning revenue in the U.S. may be required to pay taxes in both countries unless proper tax treaties are in place. Countries mitigate this issue through: Bilateral tax treaties Foreign tax credits Exemptions for foreign income Understanding the applicable treaty agreements and taking advantage of tax credits is essential to avoid paying more than necessary. Transfer pricing rules govern how prices are set for transactions between related entities in different countries. Tax authorities closely scrutinize these transactions to ensure they reflect market-based pricing. Mispricing can result in tax adjustments, penalties, or disputes. Multinational businesses must maintain detailed documentation and conduct transfer pricing studies to justify their pricing structures and avoid audits. A company may unintentionally create a 'permanent establishment' in a foreign country by having a physical office, warehouse, or even sales representative there. If deemed to have a PE, the business may be liable for local taxes on income generated in that country. Minimizing PE risk involves careful planning, especially in defining the scope of international operations and contracts. When payments such as dividends, interest, or royalties are sent across borders, the source country may impose a withholding tax. The rate depends on domestic laws and any tax treaties in place. Understanding how to structure payments and apply treaty benefits can reduce withholding tax burdens. To navigate cross-border taxation, it's important to understand a few key terms: Tax Residency: Determines which country has the right to tax an individual or corporation's worldwide income. Source of Income: The country where the income originates. Different sources (e.g., dividends, services, employment) may be taxed differently. Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) Rules: Designed to prevent tax avoidance by requiring home-country taxation of income earned through foreign subsidiaries. Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS): Refers to tax planning strategies that exploit gaps in tax rules to shift profits to low- or no-tax jurisdictions. Global efforts led by the OECD aim to combat BEPS. Tax treaties between countries reduce or eliminate double taxation. Businesses should review applicable treaties to determine: Eligibility for reduced withholding tax rates Definitions of permanent establishments Rules on income classification and credits This knowledge helps in structuring operations to minimize tax exposure. As businesses grow globally, maintaining tax compliance in each jurisdiction becomes more complex. A structured framework that includes regular audits, standardized reporting, and localized tax filings ensures regulatory compliance and reduces risk. Navigating the landscape of global taxation requires specialized expertise. A tax professional or financial advisor with cross-border experience can provide tailored strategies, identify tax-saving opportunities, and help businesses remain compliant across jurisdictions. One such resource is which offers comprehensive guidance for international tax planning and wealth management. Modern tax management tools can simplify the handling of cross-border transactions by automating data collection, calculating tax liabilities, and generating reports. These platforms can also help track changing tax laws and ensure consistent documentation. While this article focuses primarily on businesses, individuals working or investing internationally face many of the same challenges: Tax residency determination Reporting foreign assets Compliance with FBAR (Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) and FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) Navigating dual citizenship tax obligations Failing to understand these rules can result in unexpected tax bills or legal penalties. Governments are increasingly collaborating to ensure transparency and tax compliance across borders. Initiatives like the OECD's Common Reporting Standard (CRS) require financial institutions to report information about foreign account holders to tax authorities. These measures are intended to curb tax evasion and ensure that all income is properly reported. As international tax regulations become more harmonized, businesses must adapt by developing policies that align with global standards while optimizing their local tax obligations. Cross-border taxation is a complex but vital part of running an international business. As companies scale globally, their tax obligations become more intricate—demanding a well-informed, strategic approach. By understanding the challenges of double taxation, transfer pricing, and PE risk, and by leveraging tax treaties, expert advice, and compliance tools, businesses can successfully manage their international tax responsibilities. With proper planning, cross-border taxation can be navigated smoothly, enabling your business to expand with confidence and financial clarity. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
