Tax implications are not always considered in the excitement of moving or purchasing real estate abroad. Since it is often difficult to arrange your affairs retroactively if you have not done everything properly from the start, an hour or two of tax advice before you begin your adventure can save you a lot of money and, more importantly, stress. After twenty years of providing tax planning and preparation for expatriates and inpatriates I have seen all types of situations and can easily deal with them all.
Tax returns that include international issues in them are often questioned by the Canada Revenue Agency or the Internal Revenue Service. Dealing with this can be difficult or impossible when overseas and I will be able to take care of most of this for you before you are even aware that there was a problem. I will work to resolve any issues while keeping you fully informed during the process.
