International Tax Has Changed

Tax is rarely simple, and international tax has only grown in complexity in recent years. The constant change and evolution of the global tax landscape have pressured U.S. Multinational Entities (MNEs) to proactively assess and manage their U.S. international tax positions.

Meet Horizon, A Key Component of BDO’s Technology Suite to Manage International Tax Complexity

BDO’s proprietary international tax analysis tool, Horizon, gives MNEs a comprehensive view of their international tax profile, with an emphasis on U.S. calculations, so you’re never left wondering if you’re in compliance.

With the ability to look back at historical analysis and ahead with future forecasting, it provides holistic and quantifiable data to help you mitigate risk - allowing you to focus on strategic initiatives, while leaving the complex calculations to us.

Dynamic Tax Calculations

Horizon gives dynamic and real-time visibility into key international tax calculations, such as Subpart F inclusions, GILTI, foreign tax credit eligibility, Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII), and the 163 (j) limit on the deduction for business interest.

Notable features of Horizon:

Horizon features flexible inputs that can be mapped to a MNE’s existing data set and facilitate automated data collection. 

Outputs are tailored to each client based on their tax provision, compliance, and planning goals.

As regulations evolve and change, Horizon is updated and adjusted, to enable accurate outputs.
