International Tax

Over the course of a year, Hein’s International Tax professionals can work in as many as 25 countries or more—on everything from tax compliance and mergers and acquisitions consulting to the most tax efficient means of structuring international activities, both inbound and outbound. Our clients are public and private, involving inbound and outbound transactions, U.S. and foreign tax laws, and from diverse industries—all growing and looking for global opportunities. Our established connections to global resources function as an extension of our team, and ensure seamless delivery of service to our clients anywhere in the world.

Hein is one of the few mid-sized firms in the country with an established international tax practice—especially one that does the depth, diversity, and volume of complex transactions that we do. International tax law is vast and broad. If we don’t have the specialized knowledge needed for a specific transaction in house, we reach out to our worldwide network of third-party relationships to form joint ventures on behalf of our clients. We can help you with virtually any international tax need.

Our focus is on developing and implementing creative, forward-thinking and business-oriented tax planning strategies to defer, reduce or eliminate tax liabilities. A single transaction executed improperly can often result in large tax burdens. We can review your business transactions to determine the potential tax impact.
