Ober|Kaler's Israeli Tax Group
There’s been a dramatic increase in IRS audit and collection activities affecting US citizens and green card holders living in Israel. Israeli citizens living or doing business in the US are undergoing increased scrutiny of tax returns. Enforcement actions are becoming more aggressive. Sophisticated professional representation before the IRS is the key to achieving a reasonable and realistic resolution of foreign tax obligations.
Aggressive, Discreet Representation
Ober|Kaler’s Israeli Tax Group advises Israeli businesses and individuals on:
- Failure to Report Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) with the United States Treasury Department
- Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDI), voluntary disclosures resulting from undeclared accounts
- Issues arising from the US-ISRAEL double tax treaty
- Swiss bank accounts and other related high profile matters
- Expatriation and the exit tax
- Using domestic and foreign trusts for estate planning
Stuart Schabes, who heads up the Israeli Tax Group, is conversant in Hebrew and in Hebrew documents
