International Taxes: How To Satisfy the US Government, And Maximize Protection Of Your Foreign Income and Assets

Are you a US citizen or business with foreign income or assets? Are you a foreign citizen or business with income or assets within the United States? These types of situations fall under the broad umbrella of international tax law.

In today’s global economy income and assets are crossing borders with greater frequency and value than ever before in the history of the world. With growing deficits and an ever-increasing appetite for tax revenues, the US government has significantly expanded its efforts toward identifying and tracking foreign income and assets that may be taxable by the US.

The US Department of Justice has aggressively sought FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) agreements with virtually all other nations. These international tax agreements bring with them unbearable financial penalties for any nations that fail to fully comply.

These recent changes in the international tax arena have effectively brought about the death of offshore tax havens and ushered in a new era of global financial transparency for US citizens. The US government either currently has, or will soon have full access to the account information of any US person in any foreign financial institution, and those accounts are or will soon be subject to international tax regulations by the IRS.

It is critically important that US persons engaging in financial matters that cross international boundaries fully understand FBAR requirements, how and when to use the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program, how FATCA agreements will open their foreign financial accounts up to new levels of scrutiny and how to properly file income taxes here in the US while maximizing the benefits of foreign tax credits.

In an interconnected world where digital records cannot escape the light of day, the only protection is a well informed strategy that utilizes the appropriate and legal channels for legitimate tax avoidance.
