Does The New FATCA Law Help Foreign Dictators?

Posted by admin in Tax on March 18, 2012

by Brian Mahany
Most of our posts are designed to help folks understand tax laws and to prevent people becoming victims of fraud.

Posted by admin in Tax on March 13, 2012

LinkedIn can be pretty boring. The Asset Protection Planning group is even more so (unless you are a tax geek like me). To hear a lawyer member of the group using the language identified in the title of this post and defying the IRS to catch his clients because “none of them pay [...]
