Practitioners with clients across borders must accept a duty to be aware of the legal and regulatory frameworks of other jurisdictions. Particularly, advisors working with clients from the US may be daunted by the ‘long arm of the IRS’ and wonder how to best ensure compliance. US citizens are taxed on a worldwide basis no matter where they live, creating obligations for advisors to ensure that America clients’ file full and accurate returns. In his first STEP webcast Richard Cassell TEP of Withers LLP looks specifically at servicing US clients and ensuring that their tax requirements are met. Richard examines the best way to structure a US trust, the impact of the Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and why it’s rewarding to work with American clients.
