International Tax

Companies operating multi-nationally face a plethora of difficult tax issues.  Meaden & Moore’s international tax team has extensive experience with both the day-to-day international tax issues as well as with the design and execution of safe and effective strategies for worldwide tax minimization. Our relationship with AGN International can provide our clients with real time, on-the-ground, representation from licensed tax and accounting professionals in over 80 foreign countries.

When it comes to proactive tax planning, as a company doing business internationally, you must consider both U.S. and non-U.S. tax regulations. Of major concern is how your business is impacted by more than one country's tax laws, including the often overlooked "sub-national" taxes. Customs duties, sales taxes, excise taxes, social taxes, and value-added taxes can be a significant cost of doing business, and these costs vary greatly from country to country.
