International Tax Services
In today’s global economy, national borders are blurred, making the tax landscape difficult terrain for many businesses to navigate. LGA’s international tax team is continually immersed in the sophisticated strategies of international tax structuring, compliance, and reporting so we can help you find your way through the increasingly complex and demanding regulations. It’s important to work with an experienced professional in this area because both outbound and inbound transactions carry tax and reporting and tax consequences. LGA’s clients have expressed to us that they appreciate the practical way we tailor our processes so we are neither bogged down in unnecessary steps nor delivering inferior quality due to shortcuts.
Helping Foreign Parent Companies Establish a US Business Presence
Welcome to the US! LGA specializes in working with international companies who have or are looking to establish a US business presence. Our team will assist the foreign parent with its domestic tax compliance requirements and will also work with the foreign company’s employees to ensure that they are also compliant with federal and state requirements.
US reporting requirements for businesses and individuals with foreign activities
Do I have a reportable foreign bank account?
Does my company have any foreign owners?
Have I invested in a foreign corporation or partnership?
Did I pay tax to another country?
Do I live or work outside the US?
These questions only begin to help you uncover your potential exposure to the complex world of US tax compliance related to worldwide activities. There are a multitude of rules and exemptions in each of these areas as well as many other situations that may result in the need for reporting, disclosure and payment of tax. It’s important to understand your complete financial and tax circumstances, especially where your income came from and where you are making payments.
US Citizens Abroad and Foreign Nationals working in the US
For US citizens planning on or currently living/working outside the United States, filing taxes gets a whole lot more complicated. For foreign nationals working in and or moving to the US permanently, the US tax code can be very complex. LGA can help both outbound US and inbound foreign nationals with their tax planning and tax preparation services.
Business with Expatriates and Inpatriates
If you’re an employer with one or more international assignees, consider hiring LGA to assist you in navigating the global mobility landscape, including managing a group of employees’ tax returns so you can be confident your dedicated employees are being well taken care of when away from home while managing the corporate impact of these assignments. We are skilled in international and domestic assignments, planning and structuring, partnering with your human resources team working through tax policies, payroll structuring/compliance, US and International tax compliance for individual assignees, and social security matters (totalization agreements).
