Case Study
XL Event Lab specializes in the conceptualization, development, and production of events. The company is known for taking ideas, transforming them into viable and engaging ticketed events, and then producing those events, at scale, in cities and venues across various international markets.
With established offices in Glasgow, Scotland and Orlando, Florida, XL Event Lab is focused on building a strong team and a portfolio of events that reflects its ambitions to innovate, inspire, and promote connection.
Expanding into the US represented an important milestone that also introduced complex regulatory and tax considerations that needed to be addressed holistically and correctly.
Leadership knew that getting the right structure and processes in place from the start was critical to plan for their business goals.
Key business challenges included:
XL Event Lab was introduced to DY USA by a trusted UK Chartered Accountant, who recommended the firm for its specialist expertise in UK–US cross-border tax.
From the initial conversation, it was clear DY USA was a team that understood the nuances of cross-border tax. Rob’s ability to quickly assess the situation and explain exactly what needed to be done in clear and practical terms made the decision easy.
What stood out:
DY USA approached the engagement by first gaining a deep understanding of XL Event Lab’s business model, existing structure, niche industry, and future growth plans. This allowed the team to deliver a cross-border tax strategy designed to support both immediate compliance and long-term international growth.
DY USA’s approach included:
DY USA’s consistent, proactive approach to addressing XL Event Lab’s tax obligations gave their team the confidence that everything was under control.
With DY USA in place, the company was able to move forward with confidence, knowing their cross-border tax and compliance requirements were fully managed. This removed a significant operational burden and allowed leadership to stay focused on business growth and expansion.
Key outcomes:
Trusted partnership with ongoing confidence in a reliable cross-border tax advisor
