Tax & Private Wealth

Rapid developments in the global economy are prompting swift and constant changes to tax laws in many countries, posing new and complex legal challenges for multinational companies and for high net worth individuals (HNWI). Sweeping reforms are now being contemplated worldwide, and are likely to result in major tax impacts for companies and HNWI. It is essential to be aware of such changes and to respond effectively.

Individually and together, members of World Law Group's Tax & Private Wealth Group apply in-depth expertise to a range of sophisticated legal issues relating to both international corporate taxation and the taxation of private wealth. Collectively, these lawyers bring a global perspective and seamless solutions to any tax dilemma, be it for two or twenty jurisdictions.

The Tax & Private Wealth Group hosts quarterly virtual meetings so that members can keep abreast of major tax developments around the globe, sharing up-to-date intelligence on changes in tax laws and regulations and successful strategies for responding to such changes. They meet in-person annually at the International Fiscal Association Congress. Group members regularly collaborate on webinars, comparative law guides, and other resources useful in their day-to-day practice—to help them better serve clients wherever those clients invest and operate.

Thought Leadership

May the Bureau of Internal Revenue validly serve an assessment notice through the central receiving station of an establishment where the taxpayer is a tenant without proof of authority of the person who allegedly received the mail as part of her functions? Does a taxpayer need to prove the actual remittance of the withheld taxes by the withholding agent to be entitled to an excess or unutilized creditable withholding tax refund? Learn more!

Legal Update
On Monday, August 21, Lane Powell filed a petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) asking the Court to review the Washington State Supreme Court decision in Quinn v. Dep't of Revenue.
Legal Update
The Washington Supreme Court validated the state’s new excise tax on the sale or exchange of long-term capital assets as a constitutional excise tax on the privilege of selling or exchanging certain capital assets—commonly, but perhaps incorrectly, referred to as the “Washington capital gains tax."
