Export Industry

Exporting your goods requires understanding of the export markets and the laws that govern it.  It also requires a partner that will help you navigate the taxation waters and help you find ways to take advantage of potential tax benefits as it relates to US shareholders.  At HLB GRAVIER, LLP our team can help you with the formation of Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporations (IC-DISC) that hold attractive export incentives to privately held companies with significant export sales, as well as accounting, and tax services.  We will be with you every step of the way in helping you succeed.

By representing a broad range of export companies – manufacturing, distributors, architecture and engineering firms – HLB Gravier, LLP has provided these businesses with tax savings of close to 30 percent on their export income.

Permanent tax savings begins with the export company deducting the commission it pays to the IC-DISC from it taxable income, which is taxed as high as 35 percent.

Since the IC-DISC is tax-exempt, tax is paid only upon distribution to shareholders.  Individuals and pass through company shareholders pay income tax on dividends at the capital gains rate of 15 percent.
