International Tax / FATCA

International Tax Attorneys in Boston

Transactions in both the business world and people’s personal lives. Today, increasing numbers of individuals and businesses have established international connections.  International bank accounts, foreign subsidiaries and international business partners are now commonplace.  While the globalization of business has many advantages and opportunities for growth and success, it also has opportunities for mistakes and conflicts.  At Thorn Law Group, our tax attorneys help Boston residents and companies understand the tax liabilities and complicated issues that can result.

At Thorn Law Group, we are experienced in representing individuals, trusts and businesses in international disputes including:

• International Tax Disputes
• Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
• International Banking Law
• Foreign Corrupt Practices
• Residency & Source of Income Disputes
• Subpart F Income
• Anti-Money Laundering

U.S.-based companies transacting business overseas face additional challenges in terms of tax compliance. Though they are subject to the local taxing authorities in the host jurisdiction, these entities must still comply with U.S. tax laws relative to their foreign income. While certain countries have entered into tax treaties with the United States that enable businesses to avoid the pitfall of “double taxation,” others have not.  As the global marketplace continues to expand, double taxation has the potential to become even more problematic for U.S. businesses.  Additionally, increased collaboration between the United States and foreign governments has led to stepped up enforcement efforts in such areas as Anti-Money Laundering, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and Foreign Bank Account Reporting violations.

The attorneys at Thorn Law Group can advise you on these and other international tax law issues.  Whether you have disputes with international banks and financial institutions, or whether you are being investigated for using foreign institutions to commit a crime, Thorn Law Group can help you manage your exposures and bring your dispute to an amiable resolution.
