Foreign investors continue to invest heavily in U.S. real estate. For U.S. income and transfer tax purposes, foreign investors and their advisers must weigh a number of tax issues to determine the appropriate structure for the ownership of U.S. real property, such as direct ownership or use of a foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, LLC and/or trust, in order to select an ownership vehicle for the investor. This presentation will cover the general rules for U.S. taxation of non-U.S. persons’ U.S. source income and U.S. based assets with an emphasis on the taxation of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of U.S. real estate by non-U.S. persons under FIRPTA, including discussion of the application of FIRPTA taxation under various structuring alternatives for foreign investment in U.S. real estate. Speaker: Allen Walburn.
