If you are considering the purchase of real estate, stocks or bonds, or conducting other business in the United States, it is necessary to understand our tax laws, or you might end up paying a substantial amount of taxes unnecessarily. Foreign citizens pay a very high estate tax on their holdings in the United States, unless they properly plan their investments.
