Services · Cross-Border & International

The aircraft is in Miami. The owner is in São Paulo. The IRS has questions.

Non-citizen ownership, offshore registries, and cross-border tax — from the city that connects the Americas.

Who this is for

You know the feeling.

You're a non-US citizen and just learned the FAA requires US citizenship to register.
Your aircraft wears a Cayman VP-C tail and your US tax position is "probably fine."
You're importing, exporting, or repositioning and customs, duty, and use tax are all in play at once.
Payments cross borders and nobody mentioned withholding until the second wire.
Your advisors are in two countries and they've never spoken to each other.
