International Tax Advisor

U.S. Tax Advice

The United States tax law is the most sophisticated in the world. It is fraught with traps for the unwary.
Accordingly, in addition to providing expert Immigration Law advice for EB5 as well as non-immigrant E2/L-1, H-1B and other U.S. visa applicants seeking to move or do business in the U.S., Davies & Associates proactively addresses the client's manifold U.S. tax legal planning needs.
The Immigration Law Counsel and the Tax Legal Counsel provided are fully integrated and tailored to the client's unique global facts and commercial and personal objectives.
By engaging proactively in careful United States income and transfer tax planning both prior to commencement of U.S. tax residency including receipt of Green Card and thereafter, the U.S. visa applicant may thereby substantially mitigate or avoid unexpected adverse U.S. tax costs and thus reduce liability to U.S. taxes, both for the U.S. and global business and personally.
