Application of Treaty Benefits for Individuals

​The U.S. has negotiated income tax, estate tax, and social security totalization treaties/agreements with many countries. These treaties and agreements help individuals and businesses to avoid being taxed by both countries in cross-border transactions, provide for lower levels of taxation for certain types of income than required under each country’s internal tax law, and provide other benefits to be considered when dealing in cross-border activities. We are experienced in dealing with treaties and can help U.S. resident and nonresident individuals to navigate the applicable treaties to achieve the most beneficial tax outcome.
