Income tax treaties play an integral role in international business transactions, impacting taxpayers whose activities cross borders into the jurisdiction of one of the U.S.’s many treaty partners. In the uncertain international business environment we currently find ourselves in, it’s more important than ever for companies to understand the benefits of income tax treaties and how they affect and benefit cross-border planning.
