Deductible Expenses

With the new tax reform, it is important to sit down with your tax consultant as soon as possible to determine which deductions (if any) you might still be entitled to.

Handling of Royalties

As a potential income stream received over time, royalty payments offer a specific tax challenge that we can help you navigate and plan for over the long term.

Contract Negotiations

The terms of contracts can have significant tax implications. We can provide early consultation during the negotiation process, so you know which deal terms to include and where the potential red flags may lie.
