Book excerpt: If you arenot a citizen or resident of the United States (U.S.) and you are contemplating either making or expanding an investment in the U .S., either for yourself as an individual or for a business, you arenot alone. The U.S. is the country of first choice for many foreign investors. This is due to the fact that the U.S. offers foreign investors many advantages, some ofwhich are in short supply in today's world. The primary advantage that the U.S. affords foreign investorsisthat it endorses the economic concept of free enterprise. While it is true that the Federal and state governments have interfered with the private economy to some extent, the prevailing economic philosophy in the U .S. remains laissez faire. History has taught the U.S. that the market place allocates the finite resources of a country betterthan the government, and the advantagesoftbis philosophy have not been overlooked by foreign investors. Another attractive feature of the U .S. as an investment site is its political stability. The present form of constitutional government has presided for over 200 years, and this history provides foreign investors with a measure of security which is absent elsewhere.

Download or read book Structuring Foreign Investment in US Real Estate written by W. Donald Knight, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2009-01 with total page 1128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign investors and their American counterparts generally share the goal of minimizing income tax liabilities from their US real estate investments. This rather straightforward aim is complicated by the fact that non-US investors must be concerned not only with income taxes in the United States, but in their home country as well. What's more, the United States has a special income tax regime that's applicable to foreign persons. It's quickly evident to those involved that this is a complex area subject to new developments as the US Congress continually entertains new tax laws (and other statutes with relevant impact like the PATRIOT Act), the Internal Revenue Service promulgates regulations, rulings, announcements and interpretations, and the US courts issue opinions impacting the area. This timely and highly practical resource is designed to explore the considerations that are of unique concern to foreign individuals and entities making US real estate investments. To that end it details the US income, estate and gift tax aspects of inbound investment in US real property and the various structural techniques that may be employed to reduce or eliminate US tax liability under these domestic laws. This work's single-minded focus on real estate, the encyclopedic coverage of relevant tax considerations, and extensive materials on non-tax issues (asset protection, non-tax reporting, limits on foreign ownership of U.S, real estate, etc.) make it an essential resource for non-US investors and their advisers. Structuring Foreign Investment in US Real Estate covers: General rules for taxing inbound investments by non-US persons System for taxing operating income from foreign-owned US real estate Regime for taxing dispositions of US real estate by non-US owners Withholding obligations of purchasers of US real estate from non-US sellers Impact of tax treaty network on US taxation of inbound real estate investment Limitations on non-US ownership of US real estate Reporting obligations for non-US owners of US real estate Planning for acquisitions and dispositions of US real estate by non-US persons Estate and gift tax planning for foreign-owned US real estate This one-volume looseleaf answer questions, such as: How is direct foreign investment in US real estate taxed? How is portfolio investment in US real estate taxed? What are the seller's and buyer's tax obligations when foreign-owned US real estate changes hands? What planning techniques are available to non-US persons for holding and disposing of US real estate? What reporting obligations are associated with foreign ownership of US real estate? Are there limitations on the ability of non-US persons to own US real estate? What impact do tax treaties have on planning for foreign investment in US real estate? What state and local tax issues arise on inbound investment in US real estate? What estate and gift planning should be done for non-US owners of US real estate?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the increasingly global business environment of the 1990s, policymakers and executives of multinational corporations must make informed decisions based on a sound knowledge of U.S. and foreign tax policy. Written for a nontechnical audience, Taxing Multinational Corporations summarizes the up-to-the-minute research on the structure and effects of tax policies collected in The Effects of Taxation on Multinational Corporations. The book covers such practical issues as the impact of tax law on U.S. competitiveness, the volume and location of research and development spending, the extent of foreign direct investment, and the financial practices of multinational companies. In ten succinct chapters, the book documents the channels through which tax policy in the United States and abroad affects plant and equipment investments, spending on research and development, the cost of debt and equity finance, and dividend repatriations by United States subsidiaries. It also discusses the impact of U.S. firms' outbound foreign investment on domestic and foreign economies. Especially useful to nonspecialists is an appendix that summarizes current United States rules for taxing international income.
