DOING BUSINESS IN FLORIDA: Legal Framework and Tax Considerations for Foreign Corporations

Fourth largest economy in the US, Florida’s modern infrastructure, well- developed business laws and personal tax rates, lack of personal income state tax, low employment costs, availability of financial capital, and low costs of living have made the state an ideal jurisdiction for international business.

The Brazil-Florida Business Council, Inc. in association with Akerman LLP will host a webinar focused on how foreign entities can take advantage of Florida’s “open for business” culture to grow their company in the U.S. This session will cover “Legal Framework and Tax Considerations for Foreign Corporations” with the participation of Felicia Leborgne Nowels, Partner, Government Affairs and Public Policy; Karyn Koiffman, Partner, Corporate; Otavio Carneiro, Partner, Corporate; and Mauricio Rivero, Partner, International Tax. A President’s Circle member, Akerman LLP recently published a guide on issues confronting both new and established businesses doing business in Florida.
