International Tax Service

Introduction

If you are doing business or have connections between other countries and the United States, you are inevitably exposed to the United States international tax rules. As usual, the definition of connections is very broad. For example, if you are a Chinese citizen and made a trip to the United States to conduct the business, you could be subject to the United States tax reporting and vice versa, if you are a United States person, you must report your certain offshore activities on time to the IRS. If no compliance, the IRS fines and penalties are severe and could be thousands of dollars at a minimum.

However, there is nothing to worry about if you work with us, an experienced international tax expert. We have successfully helped our clients identify the international tax reporting items, tax incentive opportunities such as taking foreign tax credits to abate the United States tax liabilities and structure tax efficient operation structures, etc. On the other hand, there are many tax incentives provided by the United States. For example, the United States will actually give your money as an incentive to do certain business. Based on our experiences, the benefits and opportunities the United States provides to you are far more overweight than the tax cost if any.

By working with us you will enjoy all the benefits of free market in the United States but also have a piece of mind of navigating through the complicated tax rules and regulations.
Please see below for a list of services we provide related to the United States International tax matters.
