Specialist International Tax Firm

Cross-border expertise for businesses and the CPA firms serving them

WTP Advisors is a specialist international tax firm. We work on the cross-border problems that sit outside the range of a generalist practice: US information return compliance, intercompany pricing, export incentives, and the valuations that support both.

Our clients are US-parented groups with foreign operations, foreign-parented groups with US operations, and the CPA firms that serve them.

Our Services

Specialist advice from planning through defence

Integrated support for the international tax lifecycle, with a clear path to the specialist service your matter requires.

01

International Tax

Advisory across the US international regime—controlled foreign corporations and subpart F, the §951A net CFC tested income inclusion, the §250 deduction, foreign tax credits, treaty positions and permanent establishment risk.

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, structures modelled under the pre-2026 rules should be rechecked following material statutory changes.

International Tax Planning

Compliance reports the decisions. Planning makes them.
