1. Tax Planning & Compliance

• Develop and implement tax strategies to minimize global tax exposure, leveraging U.S. international tax laws, India-specific regulations, and UAE requirements.
• Ensure timely and accurate federal (IRS) and state (e.g., New Jersey) tax filings, including international information returns (Forms 5471, 8992, FBAR, 8938, etc.).

• Review and establish arm’s-length pricing for cross-border transactions between UAE and India entities, and the U.S. entity.
• Document intercompany agreements and support transfer pricing analyses to satisfy both U.S. and foreign tax authorities.
• Resident & Non-Resident Tax Issues
• Provide guidance on domicile/residency questions (e.g., New Jersey vs. non-residency) and related state-level tax implications.
• Assist with personal tax planning for a U.S. citizen living abroad (India/UAE), ensuring compliance with FBAR, foreign tax credits, and relevant exclusions/deductions.
• Cross-Border Income & Credit Optimization
• Compute and optimize usage of foreign tax credits, plan for double taxation relief, and leverage tax treaties (where applicable).
• Model different scenarios for distribution vs. retention of foreign profits, including implications of second-layer dividend taxation under Section 962.
• Ongoing Advisory & Best Practices
• Keep abreast of changes in U.S. tax law (TCJA updates, new regulations) and foreign tax regimes (India’s corporate tax, UAE’s new 9% tax regime).
• Serve as a trusted advisor for all matters related to international expansion, invoicing structures, and compliance.

• Education & Certification:
• CPA or EA strongly preferred; LLM in Taxation or JD with specialization in international tax a plus.

• Professional Experience:
• 5+ years of relevant cross-border tax experience (public accounting or specialized boutique firm).
• Proven track record advising U.S. citizens living abroad on complex multi-entity structures and personal tax liabilities.
• Experience navigating state residency and domicile issues, especially in New Jersey.
• Soft Skills:
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities with attention to detail.
