International Tax Planning

We help you plan your international investments and global business expansions in a way that minimizes your worldwide tax liability and maximizes your return on investment. Our International Tax Advisors have years of international tax experience helping global investors and international businesses achieve maximum international tax efficiency. International tax planning helps you reduce the impact of international taxation by minimizing the impact of taxation on cross-border investments and business operations. The main objective of this planning is to maximize the return on your investment by minimizing your international tax burden. Having the right global tax strategy or strategies in place can help you maintain your competitive advantage.

International Tax Compliance:

We are the leading international tax preparation CPA firm in the US. Over 12,000 clients trust us with their income tax return preparation. H&CO has been helping global investors and multinationals comply with their international activities for over thirty years. Complying with international tax laws and regulations that are constantly changing is a challenge. We can help file your federal and state income tax returns, as well as your international information returns.

International Tax Entity Structuring

If you are expanding your business globally, we can help you choose the most tax-efficient structure for your operations. We will take into account your business goals, financial situation, and jurisdictional risk to recommend the best solution for your needs. International tax laws are constantly changing and choosing the wrong tax structure can put your company at a disadvantage. We are constantly analyzing and learning new international tax laws to provide our clients with the best international tax solutions.

Inbound Tax Planning and Compliance

Inbound transactions involve a foreign tax person (individual or business) investing or doing business in the United States. Inbound transactions can lead to a variety of tax implications requiring careful international tax planning to minimize global tax implications. Inbound transactions include transactions where the United States imposes a tax on foreign persons on entities because of nexus with the US. If you are a foreign tax person (individual or company) with activities in the US, we can help you minimize your tax liability and ensure compliance with all relevant international tax laws and regulations.

Outbound Tax Planning and Compliance

Outbound transactions involve US taxpayers investing or doing business in foreign countries. Transactions by US Tax Persons (Individuals and Companies) in other countries have international tax consequences requiring careful international tax planning to minimize global tax implication. Outbound transactions include transactions where a foreign country imposes a tax on US persons or companies because of nexus with the foreign country. If you are a US person or company with income abroad, we can help you minimize your worldwide tax liability and ensure compliance with all relevant foreign tax laws and regulations.

International Tax Treaty Services

We can help you take advantage of the tax treaties between the US and other countries to minimize your overall tax liability. The United States has income tax treaties with a number of countries. Under these treaties, a tax person (individual or company) may be eligible to be taxed at a reduced rate or exempt from taxes on certain items of income received from sources within the country. We understand how tax treaties can affect your international activities. We can help you monitor tax treaty developments that affect you and help you understand the complexities of these treaties. By understanding the impact of tax treaties, you can mitigate double taxation on worldwide income and minimize your global tax effective rate.

Expat Tax Planning and Compliance

If you are a US person working abroad, we can help you minimize your tax liability and ensure compliance with all relevant US tax laws and regulations. If your income worldwide exceeds the filing threshold, you must file your tax return every year. For US citizens or resident aliens, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns are generally the same whether you are living in the United States or working abroad. You are subject to tax on your worldwide income from all sources and must report all income and pay taxes to the Internal Revenue Code every year. Americans living abroad qualify for special tax benefits, such as the foreign earned income exclusion and foreign tax credits, but they can only get them by filing a U.S. return.

Exit Tax Services

The decision to give up your US citizenship or green card is a critical decision with lifetime consequences and should not be made without the help of a qualified tax professional. When US citizens and residents choose to give up their US citizenship or residence, they are required by law to pay an exit tax. It is a final bill for your unpaid taxes on appreciated assets such as taxes on unrealized gains on capital assets. Exit or expatriation tax provisions apply to US citizens who have relinquished their citizenship and long-term residents who have ended their residency (expatriated). Form 8854 is used by individuals who have expatriated.

Transfer Pricing Planning and Compliance

Transfer pricing planning and compliance is a complex process, but it can be a great way to manage your global tax liability. Our team of tax professionals can help you establish transfer price policies that are compliant with global tax laws and regulations for your global operations and investments. Transfer pricing compliance is one of the most important tax issues facing multinational organizations, and you should work with international tax professionals to manage the transfer pricing of cross-border transactions. If you are engaged in cross-border trade, we can help you establish transfer price policies that are compliant with global tax laws and regulations. H&CO is your trusted partner to help you with the tax issues related to transfer pricing.

International IRS Tax Audit Representation

If you are being audited by the IRS for your international tax return, we can represent you during the audit, appeals, and collection proceedings. We will assist you with the compilation of the requested documents, attend all meetings on your behalf and develop an international tax strategy to defend your position during the audit. An international tax audit is an examination by the IRS of taxpayers' overseas assets, transactions, and earnings. Recently, the IRS has increased audits of foreign bank accounts, assets and foreign income. Not reporting foreign income, international transactions or foreign assets or bank accounts to the IRS can get you in trouble with the government.
