Inbound Immigration: Tax and Business Considerations
Cross-Border Employment Issues, M&A Abroad, Treaty Benefits, Residency and Permanent Establishment Rules
Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
In an increasingly globalized world, businesses and individuals are frequently engaged across jurisdictions. Pre-planning for immigration to the U.S. is essential to mitigate the U.S. tax bite and to minimize issues in the employment of foreign persons inside the U.S. Indeed, businesses relocating employees from their home country need to consider the tax implications of the move to avoid potential double taxation of income and social security taxes on wages paid abroad.
Companies acquiring foreign nationals through M&A transactions may want to ensure they are a successor-in-interest to preserve visa status for these employees.
Listen as our panel of business immigration and tax attorneys discusses tax, business, and related employment and planning considerations arising from inbound immigration activities and other corporate interactions involving foreign nationals and personnel.
