Cash Pooling -
Country Considerations
Cash Pooling is allowed in many countries, in some just
partially and in others it is prohibited. Here an overwiew
about those specifications.
Techniques are the one, but country
specific restrictions the other. It is in many
countries basically possible to maintain cash
pooling on an automatized basis. However, it is always
unavoidable to consider carefully items like tax, legal and
liabilities. Those change quite strong from country to country.
Whether cash pooling is possible in the particular country depend
from many factors. For example also which bank is elected as the
provider, because in some regions it requires special licenses. Also
the legal structure of the group is often important. These and further
questions, e.g. thin capitalization rules, taxes) need to be clarified in
every case very carefully.
Based on our experience with introducing, enhancing and improving
cash pool structures globally we prepared a brief manuscript,
intended to get a first and impression what is possible and what would
become rather a problem in a specific country when introducing cash
pooling.
