International Tax Compliance: Navigating Tax Implications of Cross-Border Activities
Reporting and Filing Requirements, Guidelines on IRS Issue-Based Examinations, Audits and Litigation
Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
The IRS continues to aggressively assess penalties for failure to comply with the reporting requirements of individuals and companies engaged in cross-border activities. The IRS continues LB&I-conducted compliance campaigns focused on international tax issues, resulting in increased scrutiny of taxpayer reporting of foreign assets.
In light of increased IRS focus, possessing an in-depth understanding of international tax rules and regulations will assist counsel and tax advisers in helping taxpayers maintain compliance and avoid IRS examination. A taxpayer's failure to properly adhere to reporting and filing requirements associated with cross-border activities and foreign assets can result in severe civil and criminal penalties.
Listen as our panel guides advisers on the most complex aspects of international tax compliance in connection with cross-border reorganizations (Form 5471), transactions with related parties for certain foreign-owned U.S. corporations (Form 5472), gifts from foreign persons (Form 3520), as well as FBAR and FATCA filing and reporting requirements, planning methods for cross-border activities, guidance on IRS issue-based examinations, and effectively handling audits.
Presented By

Ms. Beloded advises domestic and foreign corporations and high net worth individuals on tax aspects arising in connection with cross-border transactions, mergers and acquisitions and public and private securities offerings. She also regularly advises governments and state owned entities on international tax issues in investor-state arbitration proceedings and other international disputes, particularly in the area of oil and gas.

Ms. Konschnik has practised US tax law in London for most of her career (along with stints in New York and Connecticut). She enjoys learning about her clients’ circumstances and goals, and she works hard to make complex tax concepts more accessible so that clients are empowered to make informed decisions about what matters to them. Because Ms. Konschnik has practised in London for many years, she has significant experience helping clients navigate multiple tax systems. Her primary expertise is in working with owner-managed businesses in a cross-border context. Ms. Konschnik's clients include family-owned and closely-held businesses (and their owners), entrepreneurs, and private equity, real estate and venture capital fund principals. In addition to regular advisory work for her long-term clients, she frequently works with management teams in private equity buyout and roll-over transactions.
