Call Mount Bonnell Advisors Today for Expert Support with US Tax Law
If you’re a shrewd international entrepreneur, then you know that meticulous tax planning is vital for the success of your U.S. operations. Many businesses find that navigating the highly technical and complex field of U.S. Tax Law is a minefield, due to the wide range of tax rules and regulations in place in different areas of the country.
But don’t panic – Mount Bonnell Advisors work with expert attorneys to guide you through this complicated process, helping to ensure your business can minimize your tax burden while maximizing your potential for great return on investments. Read on to discover how we can help you.
Why a Tax Attorney?
Some business operators are confused as to why they might need a Tax Attorney rather than (or in addition to) an accountant, as in the U.S. (as with many other jurisdictions) entrepreneurs hire both. While it’s true that accountants can help you crunch numbers, Tax Attorneys can handle certain aspects of tax planning that accountants can’t – and that isn’t necessarily just with regards to fighting tax law.
Tax Attorneys – The Smart Choice for International Entrepreneurs
Tax Attorneys are lawyers that specialize in Tax Law and are the best choice for handling the complex, technical and legal issues that arise from your tax obligations. Tax attorneys can support you if you encounter a legal issue or other problem, but they are also highly useful to help you to prevent such problems arising in the first place.
For international entrepreneurs, this is especially pertinent if you’re looking to expand your business interests to the U.S. and need help navigating the complexities of international and U.S. tax law.
At MBA, we aim to support you in your tax needs, but we also understand what a specialized area tax law is.

Expanding Your Business Into the U.S.? Ensure You Don’t Fall Foul of Tax Regime Differences
Many of our international clients don’t realize that some U.S. states offer far more attractive tax regimes than others. For example, did you know that Nevada’s corporate code and lack of a state income or gross tax receipts makes it one of the best jurisdictions in the U.S.?
