Greenberg Traurig Associate
Seth Entin will speak about
foreign corporations that become Controlled Foreign Corporations (CFCs).
Entin speaks regularly at tax seminars and is the Chair of the Outbound
International Tax Committee of the Tax Section of The Florida Bar.
“South Florida, as a gateway to and from Latin America, is increasingly
a pivotal point in the global supply chain and also an attractive location
for regional offices to target Latin American business. Taxation plays a
large role in these decisions,” said Schindler.
“With the increasing immigration into the U.S. not only of wealthy individuals,
but more frequently, their children or grandchildren, there are complex
tax rules that are not understood very well and are full of traps for the
unwary.”
This year, the two-day conference explores such topics as current developments
in inbound and outbound investment, foreign trusts, the global supply chain,
as well as the impact of new regulations. The conference is co-sponsored
by the Florida Bar Continuing Legal Education Committee, the Tax Section
of the Florida Bar, and the Florida Institute of CPAs.
