Who We Serve

Over the years, we’ve developed effective international tax planning strategies to meet the unique needs of entrepreneurial companies expanding globally. When you begin working with us, we’ll sit down with you to examine your company from both a business and tax perspective so that we know how to develop tax planning strategies that align with your business strategies. Some of the clients we regularly serve include:

Pass-Through Businesses

Companies organized as Pass-Through Businesses for U.S. tax purposes are faced with unique and complex international tax challenges due to the fact that the U.S. international tax rules operate differently for pass-through entities and individuals than they do for traditional C corporations. If not properly handled, these differences can result in double taxation of foreign earnings and potential penalties for improper reporting. We will work directly with you for your existing CPA firm to minimize your global tax burden by minimizing double taxation and eliminating penalties.

Creating Effective International Tax Planning Strategies

Just as no two companies are exactly alike, neither are the tax strategies we create for them. You can rest assured that your international tax planning strategies are crafted to meet the unique tax considerations of your business. To help us determine which strategies are right for you, we’ll ask you some questions about your operations. Do you operate in a country that has a tax treaty with the U.S.? Do your foreign operations operate at a profit or loss? Do you have a Transfer Pricing Policy in place for your intercompany transactions? What U.S. filings have you made in the past regarding your foreign entities? Using the information you provide us, we’ll create strategies that meet the needs of your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

International tax refers to the set of rules and treaties governing cross-border income, transactions, and entities. It is crucial because it impacts profitability, compliance, and global competitiveness.

Tax treaties aim to prevent double taxation and tax evasion. They allocate taxing rights between countries and provide mechanisms for relief, often reducing withholding taxes on dividends, interest, and royalties.

Residence-based taxation taxes global income of residents, whereas source-based taxation taxes income earned within a country regardless of residency. Most countries use a hybrid system.

Risks include double taxation, penalties for non-compliance, excessive effective tax rates, and increased exposure to audits or disputes with tax authorities.

The Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) framework introduces transparency, reporting requirements, and measures to ensure profits are taxed where economic activity occurs, significantly shaping tax planning strategies.

CFC rules prevent tax deferral by attributing income from foreign subsidiaries to the parent company in high-tax jurisdictions, ensuring tax neutrality.

DSTs target revenue from digital services within a jurisdiction, creating additional compliance burdens and potential double taxation issues for global tech-oriented businesses.

A foreign tax credit allows businesses to offset taxes paid to another country against domestic tax liabilities, preventing double taxation but subject to specific limitations.

The selection between a branch, subsidiary, partnership, or hybrid entity can drastically change tax treatment, liability, and repatriation of profits.

Strategies include treaty planning, transfer pricing alignment, tax-efficient supply chains, and leveraging jurisdictions with favorable regimes.
