Tax Review for
US TAX PAYER
Who is this for?
Designed for U.S. citizens, green card holders, and U.S. companies operating (US Persons) internationally or planning to do so. This review is ideal for U.S. persons with foreign entities, investors holding offshore companies or funds, and U.S. persons considering foreign trusts, asset protection structures, or international succession planning.
U.S. persons are subject to U.S. tax laws worldwide, regardless of where they live or operate. Failure to comply can result in significant financial penalties, loss of banking access, and, in certain cases, potential civil and criminal exposure in the US.
Because U.S. tax rules apply extraterritorially and ignorance of the law is not a defense, proactive planning is essential for US Persons to remain compliant, protect assets, and operate internationally with confidence.

Technical Scope
Where U.S. tax is triggered, why it is triggered, and how exposure can be managed legally and defensibly.
U.S. tax system contains powerful rules that prevent U.S. persons from simply moving assets offshore or relocating abroad and avoiding US tax. This review analyzes how U.S. taxes apply to foreign companies, investment vehicles, and trusts owned or controlled by U.S. persons.
The goal is to clearly identify where U.S. tax is triggered, why it is triggered, and how exposure can be managed legally and defensibly.
This review focuses on FOUR core U.S. international tax regimes:
Controlled Foreign Corporations (CFCs)
We review the foreign company, determine if it is indeed a CFC for US tax purposes and explain the US tax consequences of CFC status to the client.
Foreign Trust & Grantor Trust Rules
Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs)
Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE)
Deliverable
A customized, personalized and bespoke document explaining to the client how to navigate the US tax landscape. The U.S. Cross-border Tax Review for U.S. persons as detailed in this section is applicable to one (1) corporate entity or one (1) trust.
