The mission of International Tax Counselors is to improve global transactions by helping and collaborating with the advisers to a cross border business or family.  

Our expertise include mulit-national income tax transactions and gift and inheritance transactions.

We believe in the synergy of a team. Collaborating  with attorneys, chartered accountants and certified public accountants, we provide knowledge as to the metes and bounds of legitimate international tax planning. Our practice is limited to research and tax counseling. 

We see the IRS as part of your successful team.  We do not believe that wealth is created with a business structure  dependent on avoiding an IRS audit.  

We see the IRS National office as a viable organization with a mission of helping American business in a fiercely competitive global battle field.

Cross Border tax planning is penalty free when you involve the IRS at the beginning of the  planning stage. The National IRS office is very pro-small international business.

We successfully negotiated foreign trust planning for the multi-national family, resulting in a written agreement from the IRS (known as a private letter ruling).

We specialize in:

1.  helping the American working in Switzerland or with Suisse bank accounts, including trusts and companies, resolve (on an anonymous basis) undisclosed issues with the IRS .  

2.  cross border estate planning taking advantage of the United States tax treaties.

3.  estate tax planning with IRS private rulings- a tax planning agreement.

4.  reducing small business  taxes by using American revocable trusts and American limited liability companies to obtain the greatest foreign tax credits.
