Investment and internationalization opportunities in the US after the Tax Reform.
How can the Italian companies benefit from the investment and internationalization opportunities in the US after the Tax Reform?
The reform was approved in December 2017, and it’s the most significant tax cut in the American history. The benefits included in the reform are many and apply to various social classes and business groups.
The main aspects that will affect the US economy are:
permanent massive reduction of corporate tax
the possibility of depreciating 100% of the full purchase cost of capital goods within the first year of entry into service
facilitation of repatriation of capital funds in the US
substantial benefits for the real estate industry (in Florida for example, where further local benefits apply)
Changes of this type offer many growth opportunities and might help the US become an essential target for many business initiatives and internationalization processes.
Among the main advantages offered by the internationalization in the US are:
Favourable tax aspects provided for in the Trump reform (as per JP Morgan declaration about first quarter)
The fact that the US are getting nearer to the energy independence
Further tax and bureaucracy concessions in some States (i.e., Delaware or Florida)
Internationalization and delocalization can be carried out in several ways:
Attending international fairs and conferences
Increasing import and export operations
Moving the production to other countries
Making direct investments abroad
Creating new companies
Signing agreements with international business partners
Opening branches
Joint-ventures, and so on.
The US is one of the primary target countries for this type of investments from the Italian companies and thanks to the Tax Reform, it will continue being an appealing destination for both creating new companies and making real estate investments.
