Work with international tax specialists who serve not only C Corps, but flow-through entities like S Corps, partnerships, and multi-member LLCs—while receiving international tax expertise that is typically only available through large regional, national, and Big 4 firms. The results are better, more relevant advice and smarter decision making that comes from a deep understanding of your unique business needs.
With an approach that focuses on solving, not selling, your project’s scope and fees are developed through a collaborative process, so you’ll always understand what is being delivered and at what cost—which means you’ll never be surprised with a bill.
Tax laws for flow-through entities have a trickle-down effect for their owners and investors. Gain tax planning insights—from business to personal to estate—that help ensure all elements of your tax strategy work in harmony rather than against one another.
You don’t have to choose a large national or international firm by default to get Big 4 tax experience—and then become an afterthought. You now have a better choice: a CPA firm with all the necessary international tax experience and capabilities, providing an unrivaled level of attention and service.
Whether you’re a U.S. company with operations overseas or a foreign company with operations in the U.S., you need to understand the potential tax and compliance risks that come from having a global footprint. Your Redpath and Company international tax advisor can help you navigate the complex tax laws and optimize your tax structure by understanding your unique business goals and strategies—so your business can continue to grow smart and more profitably.
Ensure an optimal tax position and maximized global cash flow with your acquisition, sale, or reorganization of a U.S. or foreign target, or subsidiary.
Minimize the tax impact to your bottom line of repatriating funds in a post-Tax Cuts and Jobs Act environment.
Analyze available foreign tax credits to mitigate the potential for double taxation. Even post-tax reform, there may be opportunities to minimize your overall tax liability.
Identify opportunities to eliminate or realign legal entities to eliminate unnecessary costs and help ensure that your organizational structure continues to meet business goals.
Identify strategies to minimize exposure to price adjustments and tax penalties for trade between related legal entities in your multinational organization.
Navigate the hurdles of conducting business on an international basis as a U.S. multinational, and mitigate the risk of being out of compliance with the ever-increasing complexity and reach of current tax rules and regulations.
Receive assistance with IRS audits of U.S. and foreign subsidiaries and be better prepared to defend your tax position, practices, and compliance.
Understand the income inclusion and deductions under the Foreign Derived Intangible Income Deduction (FDII) and the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions to identify opportunities to realign your entity structure and gain a more favorable tax position.
Review international tax compliance filings and processes to ensure that organizations have not missed information return filings (e.g. Forms 5471 / 8858 / 8823) which could result in the assessment of severe monetary penalties per violation. This includes gaining an understanding of the potential impact on the Statute of Limitations.
Ensure that proper documentation is obtained and forms are submitted that permit companies to withhold tax at a lower rate (or none at all) on payments made to settle foreign invoices. Failure to do so may leave you liable for a 30% withholding tax if you’re acting as the withholding tax agent.
Analyze the tax savings opportunities that may be available to you—even post-tax reform—if you produce and distribute U.S. made products that are used abroad.
