International Tax Compliance

Cross-border tax complexity stops most firms in their tracks—they either decline the engagement or outsource to specialists you'll never meet. Accounts International takes ownership of the entire international tax challenge, from strategic advisory through compliance execution. Whether you're navigating FATCA reporting, optimizing tax treaty benefits, managing transfer pricing, or structuring cross-border transactions, we deliver both the strategic planning and operational precision that international tax demands.

​​

Comprehensive International Tax Support

Our international tax services integrate strategic advisory with compliance execution. We don't hand you off to specialists who don't understand your broader financial picture—we own the entire engagement. From initial structuring decisions (should you establish a foreign entity or operate through a branch?) to ongoing compliance (FATCA, FBAR, Form 5471, transfer pricing documentation), you work with advisors who see how international tax intersects with your domestic strategy, business operations, and wealth preservation goals.

​

This integrated approach matters because international tax decisions have cascading implications. The structure you choose for foreign operations affects not just tax liability but also repatriation flexibility, estate planning, and exit options. We analyze these intersections before recommending a path forward—ensuring international tax strategy serves your broader objectives rather than creating new constraints.

​

Strategic Areas We Address

Tax Treaty Optimization & Residency Planning

We help you navigate dual residency situations, optimize tax treaty benefits, and structure affairs to minimize global tax burden while maintaining compliance in all relevant jurisdictions. Whether you're a U.S. person with foreign income, a foreign national with U.S. exposure, or managing operations across multiple countries, we ensure you're positioned advantageously under applicable tax treaties.

​

Cross-Border Business Structures

From foreign subsidiaries to branch operations, the structure you choose determines tax consequences for decades. We analyze the full lifecycle—formation, ongoing operations, repatriation strategies, and eventual exit—ensuring your international structure supports business objectives while optimizing global tax position.

​

Compliance & Reporting

International tax compliance is unforgiving. We handle the full spectrum: FATCA reporting, FBAR filings, Form 5471 (foreign corporation ownership), Form 8938 (foreign assets), and transfer pricing documentation. Our approach assumes examination—every filing is documented to withstand scrutiny.

​

 ​​Most firms decline international tax engagements entirely. We take ownership of cross-border complexity because international tax strategy can't be separated from your domestic planning, business structure, and wealth preservation goals. When others see boundaries, we see opportunities to optimize your global tax position.
