Our Tax Philosophy - DVS Advisory Group

Why Taxes?

Resource Mobilization
To fund national priorities, development, and public infrastructure.

Redistribution of Wealth
To promote equity and reduce income gaps in society.

Alignment of Public Behavior
To nudge businesses and citizens toward desired actions.

We believe the greatest strategic opportunity lies in alignment of behavior. Over two-thirds of global tax laws are written to incentivize it.

The 3P Framework

Priority: What governments want to promote—such as jobs, R&D, exports, and clean energy. Align with this and incentives follow.

Paranoia: What governments desperately need —semiconductor, AI sovereignty or rare earth alternatives. Solve for it for bounties.

Prohibition: What the society despises but the governments patronize. You will taxed and protected heavily.

The World by Design

We believe, every country in the world has a designated role, based on their stage of evolution, which in turn determines the flow of capital, globally. Every country is either a source, destination, or conduit. Understand this premise is foundational to tax structuring.

Source Nations: Exporters of capital. Developed nations with surplus wealth.

Conduit Nations: Facilitate capital flows with trust, tax neutrality between Source and Destination countries.

The True Cost of Tax?

“Tax is not what you pay, its what you endure”

True Tax Cost = Tax Paid + Pain Endured – Incentives – Odds of Success

California might tax more, but offers unmatched odds of success. A low-tax region may come with poor odds of success. Tax strategy is about optimizing for these four components of cost.

Contribution: The Language of the Governments

Entrepreneurs and governments want the same outcomes—but use different words.

For example:

Salaries → Jobs Created

R&D → Intellectual Property

Exports → Foreign Exchange Inflow

When you translate business components into contributions, you realise there’s a plethora of rewards you are eligible for, but not claimed. Bridging this divide, unlocks tremendous potential globally.
