For more than two decades, Procopio has hosted the Procopio International Tax Institute (PITI), a premier forum focused on the latest developments in cross-border tax and international business. Now in its third decade, the conference brings together government officials, corporate leaders, and leading tax practitioners from across the United States and Latin America to address evolving legal, regulatory, and policy challenges.
PITI reflects the core of our international tax practice. Through ongoing dialogue with policymakers, advisors, and industry leaders, we stay closely aligned with emerging trends in international taxation, including cross-border structuring, compliance, enforcement, and regulatory reform. The conference provides a platform for practical insights and real-time perspectives on developments shaping global tax strategy, particularly in the U.S.–Mexico and broader Americas context.
This commitment to thought leadership and collaboration informs how we advise clients. By engaging directly with those shaping tax policy and global business, we are able to provide guidance that is both current and grounded in real-world developments.
As early as possible. Tax considerations often affect how a transaction or expansion is structured, including entity selection, financing, and ownership. Early planning provides more flexibility and helps avoid inefficiencies or unintended consequences later.
Foreign companies should consider entity structure, tax exposure, reporting obligations, and how income will be treated under U.S. tax law and applicable treaties. Planning at the outset can help manage tax liability and simplify ongoing compliance.
We work with clients to structure outbound investments and operations in a tax-efficient manner, taking into account local tax regimes, treaty benefits, repatriation strategies, and coordination with foreign advisors. The goal is to align tax strategy with operational and business objectives.
Inbound planning focuses on foreign entities and individuals investing in or doing business in the United States. Outbound planning addresses U.S.-based clients expanding abroad. Each raises different considerations, including tax exposure, reporting requirements, and applicable treaty frameworks.
Tax treaties can significantly affect how income is taxed across jurisdictions, including reducing withholding taxes and helping avoid double taxation. Proper interpretation and application of treaties is critical in structuring transactions and managing ongoing operations.
Cross-border operations often trigger complex reporting requirements under U.S. and foreign tax regimes. These can include disclosures related to foreign entities, accounts, and transactions. Establishing a clear compliance strategy helps reduce risk and avoid penalties.
Individuals with cross-border investments, residency changes, or multinational family structures may face overlapping tax obligations. Planning can help address income, estate, and gift tax considerations, particularly in connection with relocation, investment, or succession.
Before a move occurs. Tax consequences can vary significantly depending on timing and structure. Early planning allows individuals to organize assets and investments in a way that minimizes tax exposure and simplifies compliance.
It is important to respond early and strategically. We help clients assess the issue, coordinate with relevant authorities, and develop a plan for resolution, often in coordination with our Tax Controversy team and local counsel in other jurisdictions.
We coordinate closely with trusted law firms in key jurisdictions, allowing us to provide integrated advice across borders. This approach ensures clients receive consistent, high-quality guidance while maintaining efficiency and flexibility.
