AmCham’s First Premium Global Member, Andersen US, Presents a Business Briefing for Multinationals and Executives with Cross-Border Activities in the Bay Area/United States

Complimentary Event


About the Event

As the world’s leading center for innovation, venture capital and entrepreneurial activity, the Bay Area/Silicon Valley region has and continues to attract entrepreneurs and company founders from around the world. It is home to a disproportionately large number of Fortune 500 companies, and generated unicorns in large numbers, across emerging fields. It is no surprise that a growing number of countries and companies from around the world have a presence in the Bay Area, and Australia and its entrepreneurs and company founders are among them. But Bay Area companies are also expanding investments overseas, shifting capital, people and resources beyond US borders. Indeed, the United States remains the number one investor in Australia with about one trillion dollars in FDI; and Australia invests 630B in the United States. This two-way relationship is fueled by the robust cross-border presence and activities of Bay Area companies in Australia and of Australian companies in the Bay Area. The increasing frequency and depth of collaboration between our two countries can pose traps for those who are not prepared to address the extraterritorial reach of United States taxes and to a certain extent, California.

On Thursday 13 February, our first global premier corporate member, Andersen, will present a business briefing for AmCham members in Brisbane to share insights on key US tax developments and trends that will impact Australians in the US and Americans in Australia. Andersen is the founding member of Andersen Global, an international association of legally separate, independent member firms with more than 5,000 professionals worldwide, over 700 global Partners, and a presence in over 167 locations through its member firms and collaborating firms. Presented by international tax experts from Andersen’s San Francisco office, Alfonso Nunez and Marsha Dungog, this briefing will give you an understanding of the United States taxing regime, how it impacts multinationals and executives, and how to best meet the challenges resulting from the constantly-evolving US and California tax landscape. We invite you to be our guest.

We will discuss:
  • Updates on US tax policy and legislation that impact cross-border investment and expansion activities between Australia and Bay Area businesses;
  • Inbound and exit strategies for Australian businesses, entrepreneurs and founders;
  • IRS international enforcement campaigns and initiatives that impact Australian and US businesses and individuals with increasing cross-border activities between the Bay Area and Australia; and
  • Increasing exposure of remote and virtual businesses to state income taxes and sales tax collection obligations.
  • Pre-immigration planning options and exit strategies for Australians moving to the United States or coming back to Australia.
