INTERNATIONAL TAX

Are you a major company with worldwide operations, or perhaps a small company looking to expand beyond your borders?

    • Minimize the effects of the controlled foreign corporation and passive foreign investment company rules, including strategies for entity structures and allocations of offshore activities to manage exposure to subpart F and GILTI inclusions.

  • Structuring multinational business groups and their transactions to minimize worldwide taxes.
  • Advising multinational corporations on how to structure retirement and pension plans to maximize worldwide tax benefits.
