Doing Business Abroad

Historically, a key growth indicator was the reach of a company across state lines. Today, the
fastest-growing U.S. companies are either manufacturing in or exporting to foreign countries.

In guiding our multinational clients, we look beyond the mere interpretation of an international tax treaty and consider practical concerns, such as

• The desired degree of legal liability protection;
• The effective use of the U.S. foreign tax credit to ensure that profits abroad are not
  doubly taxed—once abroad and once again in the U.S;
• The proper entity selection for the overseas business;
• Required financial reporting in foreign jurisdictions;
• The taxation of U.S. citizens working abroad;
• Various local and municipal taxes and fees prevalent with so many countries.

By virtue of our membership in the Leading Edge Alliance, we are a telephone call or e-mail away from high-quality accounting and law firms in over 70 countries. Because we work with these firms on a recurring basis, we have ready access to guidance and answers to questions that arise as a company expands overseas.
