Moratorio, Rodriguez Teodoro, Borrás &
Asociados (JHI Uruguay)
By
Juan José Moratorio, Partner
Being a very small country located between Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay has
been constructing its competitive advantages as an open market economy for the
last 40 years at least. Nowadays international trade figures show the growing
importance of the external sector of the economy, and the country keeps working
to construct this competitive advantage.
Uruguay can now offer external investors the following.
-
Political
stability
-
An excellent
record of international payments
-
Free capital
movements
-
No
restrictions for non-residents (external investors) to invest in whatever
legal activity they chose, including the financial sector, acquisition of
land, all agribusiness and industrial activities, etc.
-
Local and external investors are treated equally
in terms of taxation.
-
Uruguayan Income
Tax is charged only the profits earned inside the Uruguayan territory or
related with Uruguayan products.
-
Free Trade Zones
in which companies are not taxed. The law of creation of the Free Trade Zones
clearly states that companies working inside them will not be charged by any
existing or future tax.
-
The "Tax Reform" that took place as of July 1,
didn't change the main features of Uruguayan taxation systems for
international corporate investors.
Founded in 2001 as the merger of two traditional professional firms,
Moratoria,
Rodriguez Teodoro, Borrás
(MRTB) & Asociados is currently run by its three original directors:
Juan
José Moratorio, CPA, MBA; Dr. Javier Rodriguez Teodoro, Lawyer, Master's in
Commercial Law, and Jorge Borrás, CPA, Master's in Commercial Law.
Our
company grants all the services that local and external investors need to
successfully run their businesses in Uruguay, including:
-
Legal and tax advisory;
-
Consultancy services (corporate structure, financing, international trade);
-
Audit;
-
Corporate finance advisory;
-
Outsourcing.
Our
30-person staff, located in MRTB´s Montevideo office, is made up of well-known
local professionals that actively participate in Uruguayan academic areas (CPA
Association Audit Commission, Catholic University, Uruguayan Public University)
and have all the necessary skills to successfully advise our customers in any
local or regional matters.

JHI University Update

“It was great!
I found the training very relevant to my daily work and I brought back several

This is how

expanded their network of colleagues from across North America at the first JHI
University Level Three and Five sessions in
New York City.
“I
am confident that this is only the beginning of great things to come for JHI
University,” commented
Ken Kirkland,
Chair, RoA. “We will work to
build on the success of the New York sessions, which, despite being scheduled a
short time after tax season, attracted participation from a healthy
cross-section of our U.S. and Canadian firms, as well as inquiries from as far
away as Turkey.”
Ken thanked Mark Paneth & Shron LLP

generously providing the training location and CCH, a

Vista,
Office 2007, telephony and more: Reserve Sept. 21-23 for IT Conference
|
Vista, Office 2007, telephony, data protection and secure client
communications are among the topics on tap for the
Information Technology Conference,
scheduled this year from 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21 to 5
p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23 at The Westin O’Hare in Chicago.
The
VISTA and Office 2007: A New Vista for the Enterprise
session at 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 22 will be one highlight. Is
Microsoft Vista ready for prime time? Find out during this key session.
|
Dan Harris |
Barry MacQuarrie |
The
workhorse of the Enterprise, Windows XP Professional has officially reached its
end-of-life and is no longer sold by Microsoft. But is Vista really ready to
take XP’s place as a production platform? Delegates will examine the readiness
of this new operating system to play with the big boys. The wait for that
milestone of reliability – Service Pack 1 – is over and now it’s time to take a
serious look at Vista. Kick the tires of this rebuilt and re-tooled Operating
System, examine its new heightened security, including the User Access Control
layer, and consider the advantages of its 64-bit operating system option.
Telephony
“Telephony”, with speaker Josh Robbins,
Managing Partner, Geckotech, a leading
Chicago hosted IP telephony provider, will be another not-to-be-missed
conference event. This session will explore the technologies available to
maximize voice communication and make your people more efficient. It will cover
the pitfalls of older pbx and key systems, considering and budgeting for
replacement technology, the economics of Voice-over-IP technology, new features
and capabilities your firm should not be without and more. Learn about a new
option: hosted telephony for your firm...making the equipment and its support
someone else's problem.
See
details about all the sessions in the Draft Program on both
Jeffnet (General Discussion/Conferences) and the
website.
Pre-Conference Fun
Dan and Liz Harris invite delegates and their spouses to a barbecue at their
home in “Hoppin’ Wrigleyville”, Chicago’s hottest area, from 4 to 8 p.m. on
Sept. 20, followed by Chicago-style blues entertainment. If you plan to attend
the BBQ or optional tour of the en-terpret.co Data Center on Sept. 21, please
indicate this on the Conference Registration Form.
A lesson learned
On the fence about attending the conference? Consider the story of London,
England firm Jeffreys Henry LLP. A consistent participant through most of the IT
conference’s 12-year history, Partner
Mark Tenzer
and his team were unable to attend in 2007. So, they missed the thorough
discussion about problems with Windows Vista and Office 2007 and the resulting
recommendations to hold off on installing these programs until at least this
coming summer. “We definitely could have saved ourselves some aggravation and
money if we’d had someone at last year’s IT conference to explore these problems
with other participants,” said Mark, Vice Chairman, JHI International Executive
Committee.
Register now
Use the forms on
Jeffnet and the
website to reserve your place at the conference and hotel. Accommodation
can also be booked at the Westin O’Hare online at:

Travel the world with JHI
By Barry Seidel
Partner, Marks Paneth & Shron LLP
I never
imagined that joining JHI would allow me to expand my favorite pastime...TRAVEL.
 When
my previous accounting firm merged to become Marks Paneth & Shron LLP, we
automatically became part of JHI. With my expertise in expatriate tax issues, I
became part of the regular delegation attending regional and international
meetings. From the further reaches of Asia
(Nagoya, Japan) to local venues such as Washington, DC, San Francisco and
Boston, my travels for JHI have been far and wide.
I may
perhaps be the only JHI delegate to have spent time in two different hospitals
while attending an Annual General Meeting (AGM). It was an adventure to be
admitted to Banff General
Hospital, where they have little experience in cardiac matters, followed by a
100-mile ride in an ambulance to Calgary Foothills Hospital. The entire
experience was hair-raising, especially for my wife, Linda, who "came along for
the ride.” I will never forget the dedication and love shown by the JHI staff in
handling the situation. That is just one of many reasons I will miss (former
Executive Director) Marie Bordeleau,
who has now moved on to a new career.
Closer to
home, we have enjoyed the sights and sounds of Boston and the mellow weather of
San Diego. Who could forget the international flair of
Buenos Aires,
Argentina,
the cosmopolitan beauty of Mexico City or the tropical paradise of San Juan,
Puerto Rico? Several of these JHI meetings allowed Linda and I the opportunity
to add on a few days and explore other cities and countries. In Japan, we linked
the Nagoya conference with Tokyo and Kyoto and our South American
trip allowed us to visit Iguassu Falls and Rio de Janeiro. While in
Mexico, our gracious host,
Roberto Resa
(Resa y Asociados,
S.C.), showed us the many sides of Mexican culture and cuisine that few tourists
get to see.
Consummate host
Whether it
was the San Diego Zoo or Boston Common, the cable cars of San Francisco or the
artist colony in Sausalito, JHI has been the consummate host. The meetings
have always been filled with great technical information, vibrant speakers,
great networking opportunities and camaraderie. I
take personal pride in my accomplishments in the area of education and with
bringing JHI to become a significant vendor of Continuing Professional Education
(CPE) for the members. I am grateful to my colleague,
Wally Lindsay
(Dorfman
Abrams Music, LLC) for his participation in our education initiative and
"carrying the baton" into the forthcoming years. My three years on the Executive
Board of the Region, have given me insight into the profession from the deepest
parts of South America to our northern neighbor, Canada.
It saddens
me that as my career will take me to retirement at the end of 2008; I will no
longer be
travelling for JHI. My travelling, however, will not cease, as it is
my passion. By the time you read this article, I will have completed my latest
trip to the Ukraine,
Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus and Kaliningrad. (That brings my total
country count to 124.). I can only urge my colleagues to get involved with JHI
and travel the world!
