It's complicated. We can help.

Sweeney Conrad works with companies in Portland and across Oregon to assist with international tax compliance, planning and filing needs. International tax is an area that is under constant review by both domestic U.S. and foreign market officials.  From a compliance perspective, there are various filings that must be made to make initial and maintain ongoing compliance with  tax authorities. It's important to understand the filing requirement may extend beyond the corporation to individual business owners as well. As you can imagine, compliance is imperative, as there can be significant penalties for failing to comply with local regulations. In addition, attention and care should be given when structuring foreign transactions to ensure a minimal tax rate and that all relevant foreign tax credits and incentives are realized. 

Our team of seasoned advisers work with US corporations expanding overseas, individuals investing abroad, foreign corporations entering the US and foreign individuals investing in US companies, securities or securities. In other words, we have the experience and knowledge to guide clients through the most complicated international tax situation.
