Doing Business Abroad & Foreign Tax Credits
Explains foreign tax credit rules and treaty protections available to U.S. businesses expanding into international markets to avoid being taxed twice on the same income.
International Business Taxation Lawyer
If a U.S. business is expanding into international markets, it is important to ensure that the tax laws of those foreign jurisdictions are being followed. It is equally important that the business recognizes that any income effectively connected with the U.S. trade or business is taxable in the United States. There are treaties in place with most countries to protect U.S. businesses from being taxed twice.
The Bellevue, Washington, law firm of Lana Kurilova Rich PLLC provides tax law representation to companies in the Greater Seattle area, elsewhere in Washington or anywhere in the United States that are interested in doing business abroad.

Washington Attorney, Advising on Foreign Tax Credits
Your case will be handled personally by international business taxation attorney Lana Rich, who has more than 15 years of international tax and business law experience. She is licensed to practice law in the U.S. and the Russian Federation. She is fluent in Russian.
Our law firm provides businesses guidance on how to establish a presence in the country or countries of their choice. We educate about business taxation, tax planning and what taxes need to be paid in which jurisdictions, and outline how tax credits protect U.S. businesses from double tax issues. For example, if you are required to pay 13 percent in taxes to Russia first, that 13 percent can be subtracted from the 50 percent you may be required to pay in the United States.
We are a comprehensive tax law firm, meaning that we can also help U.S. businesses that have already established a foreign presence with any business taxation issues that may arise.
