International Tax 

International trade is the key driver to the business growth of many global companies today.  However, the wrong  U.S. and foreign tax structure can put your company at a real disadvantage.

What many fail to realize is all companies are not alike.  At Freed Maxick & Battaglia, we try to gain an understanding of the issues you face.  Our international tax professionals dedicate their time advising companies like yours on international tax issues.  We draw upon our multi-national knowledge to implement global tax strategies relevant to your company.

International Tax Services

Tax Compliance
International tax compliance can be a full-time job, as each country has a host of specialized rules and regulations.  We help meet your global compliance requirements by assigning the proper tax professional for the related jurisdiction.

Tax Structuring
Our international tax professionals can analyze your worldwide structure to help minimize your worldwide effective tax rate.  The proper structure can ensure that you take advantage of the benefits available under the tax laws of countries throughout the world.

Transfer Pricing
With the increased emphasis on transfer pricing regulations world-wide, companies face an increasing risk of audit by both the IRS and tax authorities throughout the world.  Our international tax professionals can review your organization’s inter-company transactions to ensure you are complying with transfer pricing regulations in the U.S. and abroad.

Expatriate Planning & Compliance
With proper planning, our professionals can ensure that your international employees pay the minimum amount of tax necessary.  We look for ways to minimize your employees’ U.S. and foreign social security, payroll and other taxes, as well as limit your corporate exposure to taxation in a host country.

Export Incentive Planning
Competing in today’s global marketplace requires new and specialized expertise in entering new markets, minimizing taxes and customs duties and maximizing government trade incentives. Our professionals are uniquely qualified to assist small to large businesses in taking advantage of trade incentives. See IC-DISC.
