International Tax Structuring & Legal Advisory

Strategic Legal Counsel for Global Investors, Entrepreneurs, and International Families

In today’s global economy, taxation does not stop at borders. Individuals and businesses operating across jurisdictions face complex exposure to U.S. federal tax laws, international reporting obligations, treaty implications, and cross-border structuring risks.

Natale Law provides sophisticated international tax strategy and legal advisory services for foreign investors entering the United States, U.S. citizens investing abroad, multinational entrepreneurs, and international families with global assets.

We focus on legal structuring, risk mitigation, and long-term strategic tax positioning, working in coordination with certified tax professionals when compliance or reporting is required.

Cross-Border Tax Structuring

Proper entity selection and structural planning are critical before entering the U.S. market or expanding internationally.

We advise on:
• U.S. inbound investment structuring
• Tax-efficient holding company formations
• LLC vs. Corporation vs. Partnership analysis
• Foreign ownership of U.S. entities
• Multi-jurisdiction business structuring
• Pre-investment tax impact analysis

Our approach is proactive. We structure transactions correctly from the beginning to avoid costly restructuring later.

Foreign Investment in U.S. Real Estate

International investors acquiring U.S. real estate are often exposed to complex rules, including FIRPTA withholding, capital gains taxation, and estate tax exposure.

We provide:
• FIRPTA legal guidance
• Structuring for foreign buyers
• Pre-construction contract tax analysis
• Estate tax mitigation strategies
• Exit strategy planning

Strategic planning before acquisition can significantly reduce the long-term tax burden.

U.S. Tax Exposure for Non-Residents

Foreign nationals frequently underestimate their exposure to U.S. tax laws.

We advise on:
• U.S. source income determination
• Permanent establishment analysis
• Effectively Connected Income (ECI) considerations
• Withholding obligations
• Double taxation risks

Understanding residency classification and income sourcing rules is essential to avoid unexpected liability.

International Estate & Wealth Planning

Cross-border families face unique estate and gift tax challenges.

Our services include:
• U.S. estate tax exposure for non-resident aliens
• Cross-border inheritance planning
• Trust structuring strategies
• Gift tax planning
• Asset protection coordination

We design structures that preserve wealth across generations while minimizing cross-jurisdiction risk.

Tax Treaty & Double Taxation Advisory

The United States maintains tax treaties with numerous countries. Proper interpretation of treaty provisions can dramatically impact liability.

We provide:
• Treaty application analysis
• Residency tie-breaker evaluation
• Withholding rate reduction strategies
• Cross-border income allocation planning

Treaty misinterpretation can be costly. Strategic analysis is critical.

IRS International Matters

When issues arise, experienced legal guidance is essential.

We assist with:
• IRS international inquiries
• Voluntary disclosure strategy
• Offshore reporting risk mitigation
• Penalty exposure analysis

Our objective is to resolve matters efficiently while protecting your legal and financial position.
