What is International Tax Consulting?
International tax consulting is managing and advising businesses and individuals on cross-border tax obligations. For Michigan businesses and individuals with foreign investments or global operations, understanding international tax laws is critical to avoid penalties and maximize tax savings. Our international tax services help clients stay compliant with U.S. and foreign tax laws, navigating the complexities of global business from a Michigan perspective.
Global Tax Compliance
International tax laws are complicated and different from country to country. Compliance with global tax laws can be a nightmare that can lead to financial and legal problems if not managed properly. We make sure Michigan businesses from the auto suppliers in Dearborn to the furniture makers in Holland are compliant with U.S. and foreign tax laws, avoiding penalties and minimizing risk in global operations.
U.S. Tax for International Transactions
U.S. tax for international transactions can be complicated. Our advisors will help to make sure Michigan companies comply with the IRS rules for foreign income, investments and transactions. We provide guidance on tax reporting, withholding taxes and other requirements for businesses with cross border operations, whether you’re exporting Michigan made goods or investing in foreign markets.
Foreign Tax Regulations
Foreign tax laws can be just as complicated, and it’s important to understand and comply with the regulations in each country where your business operates. Our team helps Michigan businesses navigate these foreign tax obligations, staying compliant while finding tax savings. We stay current with tax treaties and regulations that affect Michigan’s major trading partners, including Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union.
Why International Tax Services Matter for Michigan Businesses
As Michigan businesses go global, they face more complexity in managing international tax. Whether you have foreign subsidiaries, cross-border investments, or international clients, tax consulting ensures compliance and tax savings. This is especially important for Michigan’s diverse economy, which includes:
- Auto and manufacturing with global supply chains
- Tech companies in SE Michigan working with international partners
- Agricultural businesses in West Michigan exporting worldwide
- Healthcare and life sciences in Ann Arbor with global research
- Financial services in Metro Detroit managing international investments
International Tax Issues for Michigan Businesses
Cross-Border Tax Compliance
Cross-border transactions involve a web of tax rules from multiple countries. We help Michigan businesses navigate these challenges by providing solutions for compliance across different countries, minimizing the risk of penalties. We’re particularly experienced in U.S.-Canada tax issues given Michigan’s strong economic ties with Ontario.
Transfer Pricing
Transfer pricing rules dictate how companies set prices for transactions between their subsidiaries in different countries. Michigan companies with international trade must comply with these rules to avoid fines. Our experts provide transfer pricing expertise to ensure compliance with local laws. This is especially important for Michigan’s auto industry, which has complex supply chains that span multiple countries.
Double Taxation Treaties
Double taxation occurs when income is taxed in the U.S. and in a foreign country. We can help Michigan businesses take advantage of international tax treaties that reduce or eliminate double taxation so they don’t pay more tax than they have to. We’re familiar with the tax treaties that affect Michigan’s major trading partners and help businesses optimize their global tax.
