Global expansion – while exciting – presents exponentially more complex rules and governmental requirements that can be challenging to untangle. Smith and Howard provides clear direction on compliance across borders, accessing our internal team and the additional international resources of BDO USA through our independent alliance.
We help keep you in compliance with U.S. rules and regulations – federal, state, and local taxes – while addressing the tax compliance burden associated with doing business in other countries, including filing requirements for income tax, value-added tax (VAT), withholding tax and other country-specific taxes. As part of the compliance process, we will look for planning and other strategic tax opportunities that can reduce your worldwide effective tax rate.
