Direct tax and cross-border income tax
Understanding direct tax exposure in international operations
Cross-border businesses face income tax obligations in multiple jurisdictions. U.S. tax on foreign income. Foreign tax on U.S. entities. Treaty eligibility. Withholding requirements. Transfer pricing. These aren't annual tax return problems as they are structural issues that affect cash flow, entity setup, and financial reporting from day one.
We support international and US businesses by helping them understand where tax exposure arises and how it interacts with business structure and activity.
