International Tax
Cross-border tax, made clear.
Guidance for individuals and businesses with income, operations, or family ties in more than one country.
When income crosses borders, so do the rules. We help you understand which country taxes what, avoid paying twice, and stay compliant as your life or business grows internationally.
Foreign Tax Credit
Avoid being taxed twice on the same income
If you or your business earn income abroad, the same income can be taxed by two countries. The foreign tax credit can offset U.S. tax with taxes you have already paid to another country.
How we help
- Review your foreign income and taxes paid
- Determine whether a credit or deduction fits better
- Track unused credits you can carry to other years
- Coordinate the credit with treaty benefits
Transfer Pricing
Intercompany pricing that holds up
When related companies in different countries do business with each other, prices for goods, services, and intellectual property should reflect what unrelated parties would charge: the arm’s-length standard.
How we help
- Review your intercompany transactions
- Set arm’s-length pricing policies
- Prepare supporting documentation
- Revisit policies as your operations grow
Tax Treaties and Residency
Know which rules apply to you
The U.S. has income tax treaties with many countries. Treaties can reduce withholding on dividends, interest, and royalties and set clear rules on which country taxes certain income. Your residency status determines which rules apply.
How we help
- Determine your U.S. tax residency status
- Identify treaty benefits available to you
- Reduce withholding on cross-border payments
- Document treaty positions properly
Holding Company Structuring
Structure that supports growth
How your global operations are organized affects where and when income is taxed. A well-planned holding structure can support efficient operations, manage withholding, and simplify expansion.
How we help
- Review your current entity structure
- Evaluate holding company options
- Consider treaty access and withholding
- Plan for compliance in each country
Income Deferral Planning
Timing that works for your cash flow
When foreign earnings are recognized can affect your cash flow and current tax. Planning ahead helps you manage liabilities while staying within U.S. anti-deferral rules.
How we help
- Review how your foreign earnings are taxed today
- Plan the timing of distributions
- Account for U.S. anti-deferral rules
- Build a multi-year plan you can follow
International Student Tax
Confident filing, wherever home is
International students and scholars often have U.S. filing requirements even with little or no income. Residency status, scholarships, and treaty benefits all affect what you owe.
How we help
- Determine whether you need to file
- Identify the forms that apply to you
- Report scholarships and wages correctly
- Claim treaty benefits for your home country
