New York, NY and Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 13, 2004 -- GlobeTax the leading outsource provider of foreign withholding tax recovery services to the investment and financial services community, announced today the formation of a strategic alliance with Capital Institutional Services, Inc. (CAPIS), a global leader in agency brokerage services and independent research distribution.
"CAPIS well respected industry reputation, strong client relationships and considerable industry coverage will enable GlobeTax to service a much wider segment within the institutional investment arena," said Len Lipton, Vice President of Marketing for GlobeTax.
Through this affiliation, CAPIS sales and marketing force will be able to offer its clients and prospects direct access to GlobeTaxs expertise in an area which often does not receive the attention it deserves, the retrieval of excess withholdings on dividend payments in foreign markets.
We are very excited to be working with CAPIS. The needs of their clientele are very similar to our own and we look forward to adding value to their offerings," said Martin S. Foont, President of GlobeTax.
It is estimated that foreign governments are withholding as much as two hundred billion dollars a year on dividend payments from cross-border investments. Much of these withholdings are recoverable because of treaties that exist between pairs of countries which entitle investors (in certain markets) to lower rates of taxation. However, the task of retrieving those funds can be particularly onerous because of the myriad of ever-changing rules and regulations of foreign tax authorities, only small a fraction of those entitlements is ever actually recouped by the beneficial owners of the investments.
CAPIS alliance with GlobeTax is a natural fit with our focus on providing innovative solutions to the institutional marketplace. This relationship goes along with our commitment to help our clients stay ahead of constantly evolving regulatory and competitive trends in this dynamic marketplace," said Dax Ainsworth, CAPIS Director of Research and Marketing.
