Tax

Conducting global business in the U.S. brings with it great opportunities, but also a great deal of complexity and uncertainty. On top of new competitive challenges, cross-border businesses must stay well-informed on Federal and local tax laws, filing requirements, and legislative fluctuations. And even if you do manage to stay on top of all these issues, you aren’t guaranteed success. Tax strategy for foreign companies conducting business in the U.S. goes far beyond meeting the necessary compliance requirements. It must align with your overall business strategy to create competitive advantage and long-term growth. It is complicated, and can be daunting, without the right team of international and local tax experts at your side.

Turning tax compliance into a competitive advantage

Even the best intentioned business owners don’t know what they don’t know, and when it comes to cross-border tax issues, this can have devastating results.
