Built for cross-border complexity

Tax Strategy & Property Tax Consulting

Many states, including Texas, have no state income tax — but that comes with a trade-off: property taxes and sales taxes tend to run higher to compensate. That is where our tax-saving expertise makes the difference, negotiating directly with local counties and appraisal districts to lower your tax burden across every category that matters.

This practice is built especially for Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Chinese companies, and other Asian investors establishing or expanding U.S. operations. We identify defensible savings and negotiate incentives across high-growth markets including Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan, and Ohio, led by Colin Yoon’s role as Executive Advisor to ITC Tax.

• Property tax appeal and abatement review for new U.S. facilities
• Sales tax exemption and incentive structuring for manufacturers
• Multi-state tax exposure review for companies entering Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan, and Ohio
