Short answer

As soon as the market decision firms up, before the incorporation documents are drafted. After signing, a model is no more than "damage assessment".

Tax modelling should be done as soon as the market and structure decisions firm up, and before the incorporation and investment documents are signed. Decisions such as the company type, the shareholding structure, the form of financing — equity or debt — and where the intellectual property will sit become expensive to change once signatures are on paper, and sometimes impossible.

Modelling early lets you assess corporate tax, withholding, VAT and the availability of any incentive or exemption under the Tax Procedure Law (No. 213) while the structure is still flexible. On international investments the effect of the double taxation treaties is worked into the design at the same stage. Modelling done after signature usually turns into damage assessment: it measures the tax burden of the structure you already have, but it can no longer optimise it. Modelling belongs inside the decision, not after it.
