| 7 SILE Public CPD Points (Inclusive of 2.5 Public MEC Points) (TBC) |
The Certificate in Multi‑Jurisdictional Tax and Structures is one of the six learning modules offered under WMI’s Certificate in Family Office for Legal Practitioners programme, developed in partnership with the Law Society of Singapore.
This module focuses on tax considerations, ownership structures, and cross‑border issues relevant to the family office and private wealth context. It examines how families organise and manage assets across multiple jurisdictions, taking into account differing tax regimes, regulatory environments, and reporting requirements.
The module is designed to be taken as part of a stackable programme structure, allowing participants to progress through the modules at their preferred pace while managing ongoing professional commitments.
Partner:
This module examines how family offices navigate complex tax and regulatory environments across jurisdictions. Participants develop a practical understanding of key tax regimes and regulatory considerations in major family office centres, including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Dubai, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and how differences across jurisdictions shape structuring decisions and operational strategy.
A particular focus is placed on Singapore as a regional family office hub. Participants are introduced to the MAS Section 13 tax incentive schemes, relevant licensing and regulatory requirements, and commonly used ownership structures and vehicles. Practical insights are provided into how these frameworks are applied within real‑world family office set‑ups and ongoing operations.
The module also addresses the challenges of managing compliance and governance across multiple jurisdictions. Participants examine cross‑border tax considerations for families with global footprints and gain an overview of international reporting regimes such as CRS and FATCA, with discussion of the compliance, governance, and risk implications faced by modern family offices. Current developments in global tax systems, including the global minimum tax and its potential relevance to family structures, are also introduced.
Through structured teaching, practical case studies, and guided discussion, participants gain applied insights into tax, structuring, and regulatory challenges encountered by family offices operating across borders.
Course Duration: 8 Hours
