EXPATRIATE/FOREIGN NATIONAL TAXATION
When it comes to expatriate/foreign national taxation, few firms can provide the level of specialized expertise that DGC can. Our dedicated group of experts, led by Laurie Austin and Laura Barooshian, possess a vast knowledge of complex tax rules that apply to both employers and individuals. We advise and administer expatriate tax programs for multinational corporations. We also service U.S. nationals working abroad and foreign nationals working in the U.S., as well as wealthy individuals with international interests.
Tax Consulting
We consult on various international matters, including application of tax treaties, foreign tax credit optimization, analysis of tax filing alternatives, planning regarding foreign investments and foreign charitable giving and other matters that require a more strategic global tax approach. As consultants, we help individual clients develop cost-effective strategies for the management of their global tax liability. We work with employers to design and administer tax reimbursement policies, to properly report and withhold on expatriate compensation, to educate and consult with employees and management on expatriate tax issues and to consult on timing and structure of assignments to reduce worldwide tax exposure.
Compliance
Individual clients and employers come to us with complex, multi-jurisdiction tax issues related to cross-border employment and investment opportunities. Similar to an interpreter or guide who helps travelers understand the language and customs of a particular country, we explain documents and tax laws that are foreign to our clients. We prepare U.S. federal and state income tax returns for U.S. expatriates and foreign nationals as well as foreign bank account reporting. We also assist with applications for Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs) on behalf of our clients.
In addition, we can coordinate host country tax consultation and tax preparation with international tax advisors through our affiliation with Moore Stephens International Limited. Our affiliation provides DGC with access to a global network of technical expertise and enhances our service to clients.
