Eli Financial, a division of AudioSolutionz, specializes in delivering high-quality information, important regulatory updates, and practical success strategies for tax, banking and financial professionals. The company provides training and knowledge from experts through live and on-demand webinars, DVDs, books and newsletters.
On Thursday, October 6, 2016, Eli Financial will host a Live Webinar titled “Brexit and the Panama Papers - A Guide for U.S. Taxpayers and Tax Professionals.” Attendees of this webinar will be able to gain a better understanding of these two hot developments and how these can impact their regular tax practices. Several other vital terminologies will also be taken up for discussion during the session.
Brexit and its Impact
In June 2016, a nation-wide poll was run through the U.K. to determine if it wanted to stay on as a part of the European Union, or part its ways by all means. In a historic referendum, the country voted to leave the union, which shook the global political and economical landscape to its core. Global tax systems are interconnected owing to the treaties and agreements countries and their entities have with their peers around the world. Brexit did make its share of impact on the U.S. economy in terms of financial stability, crisis management, competitiveness and tax systems. Tax planners should have a clear knowledge of these impacts, so that they remain knowledgeable and work towards the best interest of their clients.
Impact of the Panama Papers
Owning an asset to create a safer tomorrow is a good practice and is completely legal. However, this very activity becomes a malpractice when asset protection is being used to evade tax by transferring assets through improper channels or hiding them during legal disputes. This aspect came into limelight in 2014 when a group of hackers released a huge database (Panama Papers) for 200,000 companies, which revealed details for about 11.5 million files. Many of those included transactions in which assets were moved all over the world, primarily to evade tax. The list included names of prominent personalities from all around the world.
In this webinar, Stuart Sobel will cover a wide range of vital focus areas, which will form up a sort of intermediate level course for those who are engaged in tax planning and preparation. The areas he will cover regarding Brexit include:
- History of the E.U. and its strengths & weaknesses
- U.K. Economic and tax systems
- IRS Office of Competent Authority – treaty interpretation
- Tax treaties between US, UK, and other nations
- Impact of (12%) British pound devaluation on US foreign tax credits & deductions
- US tax agreements that require renegotiation
- Problems faced while processing cross-boundary transactions
- Domestic international sales organizations
- Corporate inversion
- Changes to holding back tax for non-resident aliens
- Impact of VAT taxes & tariffs
- Changes in passport for tax offenders
- Transfer pricing issues
- FATCA & FBAR changes
- OVDP impact
Stuart will also take up certain areas related to Panama Papers, which will include:
- Overview of asset protection methods
- Mossack Fonseca data release history
- Overview of tax havens
- Facilitators of the schemes
- IRS detection techniques
- Legal versus illegal asset protection
- IRS penalties
- FBAR and FATCA reporting

Upon the conclusion of this webinar session, attendees will have gained in-depth insight into these two aspects and how they can minimize the impact of these for U.S. taxpayers.
