Course Paper:

You are working as an accountant for a U.S. company, USco, that designs and manufactures specialized equipment used in various manufacturing applications. Your company is contemplating expanding its operations overseas. The CEO has requested that you choose a country that has a tax treaty with the United States, analyze the impact of global expansion to your proposed country in several key areas, and prepare a report detailing your findings. Of particular importance to the CEO are the following areas for investigation:

1. What steps should the company take to expand to the proposed expansion country?
2. What options are available for how to structure the foreign operation and what are the tax implications of each structure (branch, subsidiary, hybrid, etc.)? Consider:
   1. Legal and business factors
   2. Taxation of profits
3. What structure do you recommend for expansion and why?
4. Based on the recommended structure, what are the tax implications for USco’s employees? Consider:
   1. U.S. or foreign employees
   2. Implications of living arrangements and time spent in the foreign country
   3. Employment taxes, insurance, and benefits
   4. Options for eliminating double taxation (exclusion vs. credit)
5. Based on the recommended structure, what are the tax implications for USco as a whole? Consider:
   1. Income taxes
   2. Withholding taxes
   3. Transfer pricing

Make sure to include a brief historical and economic overview of the country you chose for your analysis, details on why you feel the proposed country is a good choice for expansion, and important treaty provisions relevant to your analysis.
