Brian Levy works with businesses and individuals related to Canada-US business, investment and relocation structuring, tax planning and tax compliance.

Businesses thinking of cross-border expansion need to plan how to operate, registrations and tax consequences. Without proper planning, the venture can fail, result in an overhead disproportionate to the revenues and double taxation.

Individuals should consider what happens when they consider cross-border activities in their lives. Snowbirds need to plan not to be caught by the US residency and the U.S. tax consequences on sale or death. Persons with no physical connection to the US could be subject to the onerous U.S. Estate Tax if holding U.S. shares in a portfolio, RRSP or RIF.

U.S. persons need to consider if an offer from of higher income in Canada is sufficient to cover the higher Canadian tax rates and the impact of the Canadian Departure Tax on leaving Canada.
