State Tax Liability
Your home country may require additional tax planning before expanding into different provinces or jurisdictions, such as changing the sales tax rate that you charge or changing your withholding amounts. The U.S. takes this notion to the extreme as they have 50 different States all of which have their very own tax systems. Determining in which States your business has reporting requirements in can be a very difficult task.
Our tax professionals are familiar with the nexus requirements for each State and can help you determine your business’ exposure to State tax. Additionally, our directors are well networked and maintain business relationships with local accountants in many States providing you with access to the specialized knowledge each jurisdiction requires.
Filing for Cross-Border Employees
It is common when expanding into the U.S. to send some tenured employees there to grow the business. This introduces many complications with payroll, employee residency, and employee filing requirements.
Our tax professionals have cost effective programs that will assist your employees in filing their non-resident U.S. tax returns as well as claiming their U.S. source employment income on their home country’s tax return such that double taxation is eliminated. Additionally, we can help your staff develop the necessary processes required to handle international payroll.
