A shrinking world caused by advances in technology and globalization of routine business transactions is creating the need for even relatively small accounting practices to become informed about international tax issues. U.S. citizens working in other countries, foreign nationals working in the U.S., cross-border transfers of equipment and technology, foreign sales and purchases, and foreign investments and investors all combine to require working knowledge about the related international tax issues.
