Global Taxes, founded by Alicea Castellanos, provides premium tax and compliance services for both US citizens and non-US citizens. Based out of New York City, Alicea Castellanos has been working with high net worth families and individuals, managing their most complex tax matters for over 17 years.
At just 14 years old, Castellanos had a negative experience with an accountant and vowed to one day do things differently. She graduated from NYU with a double major in International Business and CPA Accounting and went on to work in a prestigious tax and global law firm before setting out on her own and founding Global Taxes 2 years ago.
Presently, Global Taxes specializes in tax advisory and compliance services for international individuals. For individuals and families planning to come to the US, pre-immigration tax planning is crucial. Before ever setting foot in the United States, high net worth individuals should have a clear grasp on the taxes they will encounter in the US, run calculations, and manage their assets. While this process can seem daunting, doing so can save wealthy individuals thousands of dollars. United States tax laws can be incredibly complex, so understanding the laws and ensuring compliance is essential.
Global Taxes also works closely with individuals who may prefer to reside outside of the United States but need assistance structuring the purchase of US real estate. Purchasing real estate as a non-US citizen can make taxes difficult, but not impossible. Castellanos and her team at Global Taxes come alongside their clients and ensure a smooth investment process while minimizing their taxes.
It is also important to consider the impact of estate taxes after the property owner’s death. While US citizens are afforded estate tax exemption, non-citizens are not given the same luxury. This means that when a property owner passes away, their relatives may be subject to up to 40% in estate taxes. This tax puts an immense, often unforeseen, burden on the family. Fortunately, according to Castellanos, there are ways to plan for this. For example, the proceeds of a life insurance policy can be used to cover the taxes and spare the heirs. Other complexities may further complicate estate taxes but Global Taxes is armed with an arsenal of solutions to ease a family’s transition after a loss.
