Seminar: Considerations for a successful US business expansion

Faced with significant uncertainty in the past couple of years and changes in Canadian and US governments, Alberta’s economy has shifted from thriving to challenging. For businesses looking to expand into new markets, the time may be right to look south of the border. However, despite many similarities between the United States and Canada, the tax and regulatory framework is not one of them. To ensure a successful expansion into the US, Canadian business owners must be aware of the complexity of the US tax regime.

On Tuesday, January 24, 2017, in Calgary, and on Wednesday, January 25, 2017, in Edmonton, Moodys Gartner Tax Law will be presenting a fast-paced seminar, discussing tips and traps for the Canadian business in dealing with US expansion, including:

• Why Alberta businesses should consider expanding into the US now more than ever.
• The US and Canadian tax differences that you should be aware of.
• What we can expect from the new post-reform US tax regime that will impact traditional cross-border planning.
• Prospective cross-border tax planning and techniques.
• Basic US immigration considerations for the business owner.
