We have experience in dealing with stock and asset acquisitions, and can recommend whether such transactions can be more advantageous as a taxable or tax-free transaction. At Juroviesky and Ricci LLP, we also have experience in completing multi-national reorganizations, mergers, and reverse mergers, and we recommend the best practices of ownership vehicle planning, forming corporate instruments, and effecting subsidiary transfers.
We also render tax opinions, secure rulings, and other technical advice memorandums to support our client's tax position. This documentation serves to guard against attack and scrutiny from the Internal Revenue Service, Canada Revenue Agency, and other regulatory bodies. |

Obtaining corporate employer identification numbers (EIN)
Unlike other practitioners who advise their Canadian corporate clients to first obtain ITINs for company executives in order to procure a corporate EIN (and thus delay the process by months) we are able to obtain EINs without requiring ITINs. In most cases, we can get your corporation an EIN same-day! Hide

Obtaining individual taxpayer ID numbers (ITIN)
We offer valuable expert knowledge key to successful application and to avoid making an application where unnecessary. The two primary facilitation benefits we offer as a Certified Acceptance Agent are: (1) No need for you to submit your original documentation or copies notarized by the US consulate to the IRS; instead you present them to us for review, lasting only the duration of our meeting, and you take them home with you (in contrast, with a direct application not utilizing a Certified Acceptance Agent, an application must include original documents, or certified or notarized copies of the documents that substantiate the information – typically requiring the somewhat hassled & time-consuming process of notarization at the US consulate to satisfy the US notarization requirement). (2) The IRS expedites applications submitted through a Certified Acceptance Agent. There is no IRS fee for this application. Our fees vary depending upon the circumstances but are generally less expensive than alternate service providers. We can package the ITIN application together with EIN (corporate tax ID#) application for a combined package fee. Hide
