Panel Objective

Tax residency is increasingly becoming the wealthy’s top concern for pre-immigration planning consideration.

This leads to the discussion on where to make American clients and their families tax residents and the importance of assessing the tax implications in each jurisdiction before deciding on relocation.
• How to optimize tax liabilities by understanding jurisdiction-specific taxation, potential exit taxes or special tax regimes when changing tax residence?
• How to sophisticate issues for family inheritance, dual nationality, and multi-jurisdictional residency? What are the subsequent ramifications of structuring wealth for affluent individuals and their families?)
