International Tax

Our international tax practice is very extensive. Schiff Hardin attorneys represent foreign individuals and corporations on the U.S. tax consequences of their investments in U.S. corporations and real estate. Conversely, we represent U.S. individuals and corporations in connection with the domestic tax consequences of their involvement in foreign operations.

We have represented offshore investment funds and companies on tax matters relating to their U.S. trading activities. A significant portion of our international tax practice involves tax planning in areas, such as:

• Subpart F
• Foreign tax credits
• Use of tax treaties
• Debt-equity concerns

Planning for many clients involves multi-jurisdictional issues and worldwide investments.
