International Tax

Built Across Borders. Ready for What’s Next.

International tax matters can quickly become complex. We help businesses, investors, and globally mobile individuals navigate cross-border tax rules, reporting requirements, and structuring decisions with clarity and confidence. Strategic guidance. Seamless coordination. No surprises.

The challenge in cross-border work often lies not in a single rule, but in how two tax systems apply to the same facts, how those facts evolve as a business grows, and how filing and enforcement expectations shift over time. A structure that worked well at formation may need a different approach several years later.

We advise on inbound and outbound structuring, cross-border financing and intercompany arrangements, transfer pricing documentation, treaty positions, and the U.S. information returns that accompany foreign ownership. International matters make up about one third of our practice, with particular depth in U.S.–China work. We advise in English and Mandarin and deal directly with advisors in the client's home jurisdiction, so that tax, filing, and implementation decisions line up on both sides of the border.

Where cross-border complexity tends to concentrate:

STRUCTURE & FLOW OF FUNDS

How capital, earnings, fees, and financing move between jurisdictions — and the tax and withholding implications of each flow.

INFORMATION RETURNS

Forms 5471, 5472, 8865, 8858, 8938 and FBAR handled with attention to filing triggers, consistency, and penalty exposure.

TRANSFER PRICING

Intercompany policies aligned with arm's-length principles and supported by contemporaneous documentation.

TREATY & WITHHOLDING

Treaty and withholding positions evaluated for eligibility, documentation, and implementation before relief is claimed.
