Pre-Immigration Tax Planning
Planning a move to the United States is exciting and full of opportunities but the tax implications of such a move should be considered carefully. Since the U.S. imposes taxes on citizens and residents for their entire worldwide income, regardless of the source of that income, pre-immigration tax planning is essential. Individuals and families planning a move to the U.S. should understand all of their assets, income and estates must be declared to the IRS and will potentially be liable to U.S. taxation. Once a foreigner becomes a permanent resident of the U.S., and therefore a U.S. taxpayer, any income that person generates anywhere in the world is subject to U.S. tax.
