Risks of Non-Compliance for Foreign Investors in the United States:

Foreign investors in the United States must adhere to appropriate tax regulations to avoid significant risks and potential legal consequences. Grant Tax Service Inc understands the complexities and challenges foreign investors face, and we provide exceptional service and proven solutions to mitigate these risks.

​

​

Inbound and Outbound Taxation Principles:

Inbound taxation refers to the taxation of non-U.S. residents or foreign entities earning income within the United States. Outbound taxation, on the other hand, involves U.S. residents or entities earning income outside of the United States. Compliance with the respective inbound and outbound taxation principles is crucial to ensure proper reporting and payment of taxes.

​

​

ECI and FDAP Tax Principles:

The principles of Effectively Connected Income (ECI) and Fixed, Determinable, Annual, or Periodical Income (FDAP) tax are essential considerations for foreign investors. ECI applies to income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, subjecting it to regular U.S. income tax rates. FDAP tax, on the other hand, applies to certain types of passive income, such as dividends, interest, rents, and royalties, which are subject to specific withholding tax requirements.

​

Effect of Tax Treaties:

Tax treaties between the United States and foreign countries play a vital role in mitigating double taxation and providing benefits to foreign investors. These treaties address various aspects, including reducing or eliminating withholding taxes, determining the taxable presence of businesses, and resolving conflicts of residency for tax purposes. Understanding and leveraging the provisions of tax treaties can significantly impact a foreign investor's tax liability and overall investment strategy.

​

Estate and Gift Tax for Foreigners:

Foreign individuals are subject to U.S. Estate and Gift Tax on their U.S. situs assets. The current tax rate for such transfers is 40%. However, with appropriate planning, foreign investors can take advantage of various wealth transfer strategies to minimize or even avoid these taxes. Grant Tax Service Inc specializes in assisting foreign investors with comprehensive estate and gift tax planning, providing proven solutions to preserve wealth for future generations.
