Moore & Bruce, LLP is highly regarded for its domestic and international tax expertise. With respect to international tax issues, it advises on all aspects. These include, for example, corporate taxation, individual taxation, the rules applicable to trusts and beneficiaries, gift and estate taxes, and withholding taxes.

The Firm advises as to many types of so-called “in-coming” transactions. These include investments in and acquisitions of U.S. property.

For example, we advised a non-U.S. group with respect to a series of U.S. real estate investments and later the disposition of those investments.

The Firm advises U.S. taxpayers on business and personal investments abroad.

We advised U.S. companies on the development of properties, including a spa, in the Middle East.

A common engagement involves clients from several jurisdictions, with transactions that touch down in two or more jurisdictions.

We recently advised European clients with respect to acquisitions and privatizations in southeast Europe.  On another occasion we advised Bermudan and U.K. principals as to the start-up of a business in Mexico.

Areas of special concentration have been the taxation of export transactions and foreign subsidiaries of U.S. groups.  The latter entails the controlled foreign corporation rules found in Subpart F of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Firm often advises U.S.-based or foreign-based multinational enterprises on the structuring of international business transactions.

We engage in tax planning for clients. This work often calls for a significant degree of creativity.

The Firm sometimes obtains Internal Revenue Service rulings for clients. More frequently, clients and their investors and lenders rely upon our opinions.

In addition, we deal with compliance and tax litigation.  We help clients "catch up" with their filings of tax returns and foreign bank account reports.

Our attorneys monitor tax developments in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, major European countries, Singapore, and significant low-tax jurisdictions, such as, Bermuda and Barbados, on a daily basis.
