Frequently Asked Questions

What are some challenges that inbound Latin American businesses face?

If a Latin American business is considering expansion into other countries, there are many obstacles it might face on the road to international establishment, including:

  • Regulatory and Legal Compliance: Navigating foreign labor laws and standards can be complex, and compliance failure can have steep costs. Be sure you’re aware of any labor, tax, trade, environmental, or other legal regulations that may apply in your target market.
  • Economic Volatility: Factors like inflation, unemployment, and interest rates in your target market can impact growth potential for your business. Be sure to assess your target market’s economic volatility and have a plan for any unfavorable circumstances that might arise.
  • Cultural and Social Differences: When mobilizing a global workforce, it’s important to remember that different countries have different customs and communication styles when it comes to managing or discussing business. Be aware of any etiquette differences that could affect your relationships with foreign business partners or employees.
  • Intellectual Property Concerns: It’s crucial to develop protection strategies around any patents, copyrights, trademarks, and any other intangible assets that distinguish your business from others in the marketplace before taking your business global.

If you’re thinking of taking your business to other countries, Aprio’s dedicated Latin American Practice is here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our international tax and business advisory solutions.

How do Latin American and American tax approaches differ?

There are a few key differences between Latin American and American tax approaches, including:

  • Indirect vs Direct Tax Utilization: Latin American tax systems are more reliant on indirect taxes (such as the value-added tax or VAT), while the US uses direct taxes like the individual income tax.
  • Income Tax System Structures: Countries in Latin America have more variable tax structures, with some countries utilizing flat rates and others relying on progressive rates. At the federal level, the US has a progressive income tax system.

If your Latin American business is thinking of expanding into the US, it’s important to be aware of the existing differences in tax approaches and administration. Don’t play the guessing game—rely on Aprio’s dedicated Latin American Practice to guide you through the complexities of international business. Contact us today to learn more.
