Thinking of Doing Business in the U.S.? Know the Tax Implications First.

Many clients exploring a U.S. business presence are unaware of the significant tax considerations involved. Even experienced professional advisors often find the cross-border issues complex, and the most common questions difficult to answer.

That’s why we’ve developed a new program to give you a strong foundation in the Canadian and U.S. tax issues that come with doing business in the U.S.

What we’re seeing: most clients aren’t looking to leave Canada entirely. Instead, they want to understand how a U.S. presence might help them:

• Reduce tariff exposure
• Structure their business more tax-effectively
• Be closer to the U.S. market
• Increase business opportunities

But there are many misconceptions, such as:

• “If I incorporate in the U.S., the income is only taxable there.”
• “I can capitalize the U.S. company with a big loan and $100 in shares, just like in Canada.”
• “Incorporating in Delaware means no income tax.”
• “I can just transfer my sales to a U.S. corporation.”

The Doing Business in the U.S. program cuts through the confusion and lays out the groundwork for a further exploration.
