Starting a business in the U.S. offers tremendous opportunities for entrepreneurs and expats alike – from access to new customers to attractive tax advantages.
However, entering the U.S. market can be complex: varying legal structures, state-specific tax laws, and the risk of double taxation all require expert guidance.
CleverTax provides comprehensive support – from initial planning to ongoing advisory services. We combine German-American tax expertise, digital efficiency, and personal consultation to ensure your successful launch in the United States.
We assess your business model, target markets, and the most suitable U.S. state for your formation. Whether Delaware, Florida, or California – we compare tax rates, legal frameworks, and administrative requirements.
Choosing between an LLC, Corporation, or Partnership affects liability, taxation, and administrative effort. We support you throughout the incorporation process, including obtaining your EIN and registering with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
We handle your tax registration, prepare annual financial statements, and coordinate all filings under both U.S. and German law – helping you avoid penalties and unnecessary double taxation.
Expats are subject to special tax rules: income from Germany, local earnings, and retirement savings must all be correctly allocated. We advise you on U.S. tax returns, FBAR reporting, Social Security agreements, and optimize your overall tax structure.
Many expats want to start their own business alongside employment or after relocating to the U.S. We show you which business structure makes sense for expats and how to manage your German and U.S. tax obligations without paying twice.
With our expertise in the Germany–U.S. double taxation agreement, we ensure that your income is properly taxed—transparent, efficient, and compliant with both jurisdictions.
We advise on retirement plans, investments, and asset transfers between Germany and the U.S., ensuring that your wealth remains protected and strategically planned for the long term.
We combine German and U.S. tax expertise with hands-on experience from hundreds of international mandates.
Our collaboration is 100% digital – ideal for expats living and working around the world. Documents, signatures, and consultations are handled securely online.
Even in a digital environment, our service remains personal. You have dedicated advisors who understand your situation and clearly explain what truly matters from a tax perspective.
