SERVICESINTERNATIONAL TAX SERVICES

The system of international tax codes, foreign and domestic compliance issues, and treaty-based accounting regulations for companies and individuals has often been compared to a never-ending Byzantine maze. The truth is, it’s a bit more complicated than that.

At MMB, we’ve mastered the maze. Our years of experience and global resources enable us to guide you through every step of the process of doing business in a foreign country. And since that maze runs both ways, we’re also able to assist foreign companies with in-bound U.S. tax issues.

Whether you’re considering your first international step or looking for ways to optimize ongoing international business operations, we’re packed and ready to go with you.
