Foreword to United States Tax Laws

United States Tax Laws – A Perspective for Foreign Companies and Individuals Doing Business or Living in the United States

Greenstein, Rogoff, Olsen & Co. is a respected and well-recognized leader among the San Francisco Bay Area accounting firms by providing distinctive high quality tax and accounting consulting services. Our professionals are experienced in assisting many foreign companies and individuals with optimizing their worldwide tax savings through proper planning.

This document is intended for those interested in residing, investing and/or doing business in the United States. The United States tax laws are very complex and often change and the U.S. government acts strongly against violation of tax rules. This document is current as of June 2000. The material covers areas of the U.S. tax law that many Foreign companies and individuals coming to the United States may encounter. It cannot and does not cover exhaustively the subjects it discusses but is intended to answer some of the important broad questions that may arise. When specific problems occur in practice, it is often necessary to refer to laws, regulations, and court decisions to develop appropriate accounting and any needed legal advice.

The executive summaries highlight tax areas that many foreign companies and individuals encounter. China and the U.S. have an income tax treaty in force. The tax treaty provides tax advantages to many companies and individuals through reduced withholding rates and elimination of tax on certain items. We suggest that you consult with one of our representatives to obtain the most current developments and refinements of the U.S. tax laws and treaty benefits available if you plan on coming to the U.S. to reside, invest or do business in the near future. It is important to review tax planning strategies prior to establishing U.S. residency, making an investment or acquiring U.S. business operations, because many tax advantages are lost once events take place.

The American Dreams show was the brainchild of Alan Olsen, CPA, MBA. It was originally created to fill a specific need; often inexperienced entrepreneurs lacked basic information about raising capital and how to successfully start a business.

Alan sincerely wanted to respond to the many requests from aspiring entrepreneurs asking for the information and introductions they needed. But he had to find a way to help in which his venture capital clients and friends would not mind.

They can listen to venture capitalists and successful business people explain first-hand, how they got to where they are, how to start a company, how to overcome challenges, how they see the future evolving, opportunities, work-life balance and so much more.

American Dreams discusses many topics from some of the world’s most successful individuals about their secrets to life’s success. Topics from guest have included:

Creating purpose in life / Building a foundation for their life / Solving problems / Finding fulfillment through philanthropy and service / Becoming self-reliant / Enhancing effective leadership / Balancing family and work…
