International Taxation Strategies

Businesses and individuals who do business and/or reside in foreign countries have unique tax considerations, which if misunderstood can be very costly.

Katz & Co., has decades of experience working with businesses and individuals in creating international taxation strategies.

For companies doing business across borders, International Taxation is fast becoming one of the single largest compliance burdens and expense items. Hard-pressed governments across the world see raising tax rates or increased audits and administrative requirements to trigger fines and interest penalties as a key component of supporting their revenue bases. Add the lack of harmonization between the jurisdictions, and the burden can quickly seem overwhelming
