Unlocking Global Opportunities: An Introduction to Tax Treaties
Are you navigating the complex world of international business and investments?
This program, taught by Patrick J. McCormick of Offit Kurman, contextualizes the use of income tax treaties in the international tax area. The course begins with an overview of how the United States taxes nonresidents, both conceptually and under statutory rules. Mr. McCormick provides historical background on United States tax treaties, the ongoing relevance of the U.S. model treaty, and the interaction between statutory and treaty rules. The program then delves into specific treaty terms and where/how they are used, including compliance requirements for obtaining treaty benefits.
Understanding tax treaties is essential for businesses and individuals engaged in cross-border activities. These agreements between countries are designed to prevent double taxation, reduce tax barriers, and promote economic cooperation.
