International Tax Advisor — Davies & Associates

Tax Advice

Moving to another country can be complicated enough, without having to get to grips with a whole new system of taxation. As your international tax advisor, D&A is on hand to help with all your tax questions and requirements, no matter where you decided to move.

While the United States tax law is among the most sophisticated in the world, it is also fraught with traps for the uninitiated. The United States is renowned for its onerous tax reporting and complex taxation principles. These can affect certain non-U.S. businesses and offshore financial assets. This is why having D&A as your personal tax advisor can be so important.

This raises the prospect of double taxation and the possibility of being taxed on worldwide income. With our international tax advice, you can avoid many of the most common pitfalls.
