What Is US Tax Compliance?

The US tax system combines federal corporate tax with state-level obligations that vary by jurisdiction — plus a web of international reporting requirements that catch most foreign companies off guard. For non-US businesses with US customers, US-source income, or US-registered entities, tax obligations begin the moment US nexus is established. Non-compliance is expensive. The IRS imposes significant penalties for unfiled returns, and international information return penalties reach $10,000–$50,000 per form per year. Foreign corporations operating without proper registrations face retroactive assessments with compounding interest.

Key Highlights

  • Covers federal (IRS) and all 50 state tax jurisdictions
  • Cross-border compliance: FATCA, FBAR, Forms 5471, 5472, 8938, and FIRPTA
  • US entity structuring for tax efficiency: C-Corp, LLC, S-Corp, and branch analysis
  • Transfer pricing documentation for related-party transactions

What Our Clients Say

"We registered a Delaware C-Corp and started selling in the US without any tax advice. Two years later, Norvex Assurance discovered we'd missed Form 5472 filings for both years — $50,000 in potential penalties. They filed under Streamlined Procedures, resolved the exposure, restructured our intercompany arrangement, and now handle all our US compliance. The relief was immense."

Founder & CEO

UK SaaS Company — US Market Entry

"Expanding from Europe into the US meant navigating a completely different tax system under time pressure. Norvex Assurance structured our US entity, analyzed our treaty position, set up our transfer pricing policy, and filed our first US federal and state returns on time. Their cross-border expertise meant we never had to educate them on the European side of the equation."

CFO

European Fintech — US Expansion

"Managing a US subsidiary from Asia means the time difference alone makes IRS compliance a nightmare. Norvex Assurance handles every aspect of our US tax programme — federal, four state returns, international information returns, and quarterly estimates — with zero surprises. We receive our complete return packages weeks before the filing deadline, every year."
