International Tax Consulting
George C Gonzalez, PhD
My specialty is international tax consulting for Canadian clients, both residents and non-residents of Canada, and U.S. citizen expatriates who reside outside of the U.S. The two main types of service that I provide are tax planning and tax compliance.
Tax planning:
Tax compliance: this relates to the filing of tax returns and the filing of information reports. Whether you are a Canadian or a U.S. taxpayer, you are probably required to file an annual income tax return and may also be required to file annual information reports. The typical tax return and information reports that Canadian and U.S. taxpayers involved in international activities are required to file are discussed in this site’s web pages.
Some of my clients are dual Canadian-U.S. citizens who have to deal with income tax return/information reporting obligations to both the CRA (Canada) and the IRS (U.S.). I work with dual citizens to ensure you meet your tax compliance obligations to both the CRA and the IRS.
Through my experience I have found that the great majority of tax accountants, both in Canada and in the U.S., have limited to no knowledge of international tax rules. This is understandable because most tax accountants, it seems, rarely deal with international taxation in serving their clients. While some of my clients use my services exclusively, others hire me for their international tax needs while continuing to work with their own accountant for domestic tax issues. Either arrangement is fine.
For new clients who wish to have an initial consultation, I offer a free 30-minute consultation by video or telephone call. For more details contact me through my email address shown on this web page.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my services or anything else you read about on this web site.
