Mr. Thorn has also spoken on several tax law and government procedure matters to such professional organizations as the American Bar Association’s Section of Taxation, the Federal Bar Association, state bar associations, and several academic and regional conferences.

The world is getting smaller because of technology, and as a result, clients continue to bring to me novel issues that pertain to international tax audits, litigation, wealth management and high net worth estate planning. There appears to be no end in sight regarding new cross border issues that need to be addressed by experienced tax attorneys.

The United States taxes its citizens, resident aliens, and green card holders on their world-wide income. As a result of this, when individuals from other countries come to the US they need to be aware of their reporting requirements in regards to tax filing, tax paying and tax reporting requirements. Failure to report financial accounts alone, can result in large penalties and potential incarceration.

Thorn Law Group services many clients from most countries from around the world. The attorneys at Thorn Law Group have over 50 plus years of experience helping clients properly plan their estates and come into regulatory compliance under US law. In addition, the firm uses its vast connections around the globe to make sure its clients are also in compliance in other countries as well.

The United States is the safest place to invest your money in the world and millions of people do. The US has favourable interest rates, all types of investments can be found throughout the country, a client’s money is extremely well protected in US financial institutions, and well-developed law and courts protect the investments.

Although the United States and other countries have increased their efforts effectively via new laws and regulations regarding the tax laws, there are still fantastic investment opportunities in the US and around the world. If proper financial and investment reporting is taken seriously, Thorn Law Group finds the US and many places around the world to very business friendly. Normally, the firm helps many individuals and companies that come to the US for business purposes, get into or come back into regulatory compliance.

Thorn Law Group has connections with other professionals that it has established over 50 years throughout the world. As a result, the firm is able to use these connections to help its clients achieve their business objectives on a global scale.

Although, the laws are always changing, Thorn Law Group uses its home office, located in the heart of Washington, DC to stay informed and have input on new legislation. It is important for clients to use well connected knowledgeable attorneys to keep up to date on the constant changes that impact foreign account reporting for themselves individually, as well as their businesses.

IRS tax audits and financial account reporting audits have been on the rise over the last five years, as the United States continues to battle terrorism, drug trafficking and tax evasion. Therefore, if a business is planning on coming to the US, find an experienced well connected tax lawyer right away.

When foreign individuals come to the US to live or work for the first time, it is important that they find a competent tax attorney to educate them about the tax laws and what exactly their responsibilities are in the United States. If they do that, things will be a lot easier, and they will have a more enjoyable time during their stay in the United States.
