Tax Structuring for the Acquisition and Disposition of U.S. Real Estate by non-US persons

It is important that the acquisition of US real estate by a non-US person is properly structured. Proper structuring can result in significant tax savings in the long run. Additionally, non-US persons also want to make sure they get the most money on their exit. Our firm can analyze the tax issues relating to the acquisition and disposition of US real estate and assist with any planning and compliance needs you may have.

We can help with the following:

  • Pre-acquisition structuring to minimize taxation and withholding in the US.

  • Implementation of leveraged real estate fund structures by non-US persons.

  • Preparation of income tax returns for both individuals and companies.

  • Compliance with Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (“FIRPTA”) withholding requirements.

Pre-immigration Tax Planning & Compliance Services

If you are planning to move to the United States, it is critical that you are aware of all of the tax implications related to your move here. What some foreigners may not know is that the US taxes their residents and citizens on worldwide income. Additionally, merely being physically present in the United States for a certain amount of time can cause a non-US person to be treated as a US resident. Thus, subjecting an unsuspecting person to taxation on their worldwide income. Proper tax planning can save you both time and significant money on taxes in the long run. The US tax rules are extremely complicated and our approach is to review all of your facts (income, ownership, assets, etc.) so that we can provide you with the proper tax advice in order to properly re-structure your non-US investments and assets before you move here.

We can help with the following:

  • Pre-immigration tax planning, including review of your current worldwide structure and assets and advising on restructuring to minimize double taxation and utilization of foreign tax credits.

  • Preparation of US Individual Tax Returns & necessary information returns.
