Construction & Infrastructure
We advise international construction and engineering firms on the tax aspects of large-scale infrastructure projects in Suriname and the Dutch Caribbean.
These projects are typically complex, cross-border in nature, and operationally intensive – all of which create tax challenges that require clear and reliable guidance.
Our services include advice on structuring project activities, addressing permanent establishment risks, the fiscal implications of multi-tier subcontracting structures, and ensuring that both local and international tax obligations are properly met. Rootz Tax Lawyers assists, among other things, with the correct treatment of corporate income tax, wage tax and indirect taxes.
Key focus areas include:
- Mitigating chain liability risks in subcontractor arrangements
- Profit allocation and transfer pricing
- Preventing unintended indirect tax accumulation, particularly in subcontractor and import chains
- Ensuring correct payroll tax treatment for local and foreign workers
- Addressing tax aspects of cross-border equipment use and workforce deployment
- Supporting compliance with tax rules in public-private partnerships and government infrastructure programs
