FAQs: International Tax
International tax obligations extend beyond borders. These FAQs address global reporting requirements, double taxation exposure, and cross-border planning considerations — so you understand your responsibilities and avoid costly compliance issues.
Who needs international tax services?
US citizens living abroad, foreign investors with US holdings, and businesses operating across borders all face complex tax obligations. International tax services help ensure compliance, reduce exposure to double taxation, and avoid costly reporting errors.
What are FBAR and FATCA?
FBAR (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) and FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) require US citizens and residents to disclose certain foreign financial accounts and assets. These filings are separate from your tax return, and failure to comply can result in significant penalties — even when no tax is owed.
How do you help reduce double taxation?
We apply foreign tax credits, treaty provisions, and thoughtful structuring to prevent the same income from being taxed in multiple jurisdictions. Proper coordination between US and foreign rules is essential to minimizing overall tax exposure.
Can you coordinate with advisors outside the US?
Yes. We work closely with foreign accountants, attorneys, and advisors to align reporting, timing, and strategy across jurisdictions — ensuring consistency and compliance on both sides.
Do you assist with cross-border estate and succession planning?
Absolutely. International ownership, residency, and asset location can significantly affect inheritance and gifting. We design cross-border estate and succession strategies that reduce tax exposure while preserving long-term objectives for families and businesses.
