Retirement Planning
One of the most basic forms of tax planning comes from the use of tax qualifying retirement plans. It’s a great way to defer and mitigate taxes by putting pre-tax dollars into an investment account for yourself and your employees while increasing your overall level of compensation. Our team of international business and tax layers are experts on the myriad of tax qualifying retirement plans and can help you make the right selection for your situation.
Capital Gain Deferral and Mitigation
A question our team of international business and tax lawyers commonly see is how an individual or business can defer or mitigate taxes on the sale of an asset and/or a business. Without proper planning, an individual or business can face high amounts of tax on capital gains that could otherwise be avoided. Our team of international business and tax lawyers help lower capital gain taxes through one or more of the following situations—
- Sale of a Business
- Sale of Real Estate
- Sale of Personal Property
- Sale and Licensure of Intellectual Property
- Sale of Highly Appreciated Stock
