Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
The United States remains a popular destination for investments by non-U.S. investors. Non-U.S. persons investing in U.S. private credit markets, funds, and related entities must understand the tax consequences arising from the various structures used to invest in the United States.
For income tax purposes, non-U.S. investors must balance various tax issues to determine the appropriate ownership vehicle for U.S. investments. Various ownership structures--whether direct ownership by a non-U.S. person or use of a U.S. or non-U.S. corporation, partnership or other vehicle--each have particular income tax consequences for the non-U.S. owner. Because non-U.S. investment in U.S. assets is a highly tax-driven activity, advisers must be well-versed in the tax consequences of various structures, plus the related tax compliance requirements.
Listen as our panel of tax practitioners goes beyond the basics to provide a comprehensive and practical guide to structuring foreign investment in U.S. private credit, from ownership profile through finalizing the deal.
