Introduction to United States International Taxation Book

Tax practitioners outside the United States whose clients have activities in the country generally rely on their U.S. tax advisors for technical advice on the U.S. tax aspects of their clients' transactions. In order to position themselves to evaluate the advice received and to relate it to their own tax systems, however, foreign tax advisors must place the material they receive from their U.S. counterparts within the overall structure of the U.S. international tax system. Introduction to United States International Taxation provides the structural framework within which a U.S. tax problem can be placed. Now in its fourth edition, this reliable resource presents the basic principles and rules of the U.S. international tax system in a concise, manageable form.
