International Tax

Expatriation Tax Planning

Expatriation tax planning reviews citizenship or long-term resident status, assets, compliance history, covered expatriate exposure, exit tax, future reporting, and cross-border family effects. MMVFO helps organize the tax-facing workstream while legal, immigration, and citizenship decisions stay with qualified counsel.
