Technology & SaaS

Revenue recognition over time, export of services, ESOP accounting and cross-border withholding.

Overview

Technology businesses concentrate their difficulty in two places: when revenue is earned, and how cross-border flows are taxed. Subscription and multi-element contracts rarely map cleanly onto invoicing, and service exports bring documentation requirements that are easier to build in early than to reconstruct later.
