This course will provide tax counsel and advisers with a practical discussion of the tax implications, reporting requirements of cross-border activities, and issue-based examinations of foreign activities of individuals and companies. The panel will review complex international tax issues associated with cross-border transactions, navigating the compliance and reporting obligations, and guide advisers on how to avoid the assessment of penalties, additional tax liability and potential audits.

Description

The IRS continues to aggressively assess penalties for failure to comply with the reporting requirements of individuals and companies engaged in cross-border activities. The IRS continues LB&I-conducted compliance campaigns focused on international tax issues, resulting in increased scrutiny of taxpayer reporting of foreign assets.

In light of tax reform, possessing an in-depth understanding of international tax rules and regulations will assist counsel and tax advisers in helping taxpayers maintain compliance and avoid IRS examination. A taxpayer's failure to properly adhere to reporting and filing requirements associated with cross-border activities and foreign assets can result in severe civil and criminal penalties.

Listen as our panel guides advisers on the most complex aspects of international tax compliance and the impact of tax reform, including FBAR and FATCA filing and reporting requirements, planning methods for cross-border activities, guidance on IRS issue-based examinations, and effectively handling audits.
