Kostelanetz LLP partner Michael Sardar will be featured at the 2024 Procopio International Tax Institute (PITI) conference, which will take place from October 30 to November 1, 2024, at the Intercontinental Hotel in San Diego, CA. As part of a breakout session, “IRS International Information Reporting Penalties: Current Updates and Avoiding Malpractice Claims,” Michael will speak alongside IRS attorney advisor Lara A. Banjanin on October 31 from 10:30-11:30 AM PT. The session will also include Eric D. Swenson, partner at Procopio, and Daniel N. Price, founder of the Law Office of Daniel N. Price.

The three-day PITI conference, affiliated with Georgetown Law’s graduate tax program, is dedicated to cross-border tax issues and international tax compliance between the US and Mexico. It is designed for tax law practitioners, corporate tax departments, financial managers, government officials, and attorneys practicing in the US and Mexico. Attendees will learn about US-Mexico tax relations, M&A from a US-Mexico perspective, navigating trusts and estates in Mexico, and resolving international tax controversies.

Discounts are available for students, professors, and government employees.

International tax compliance can be difficult for clients to navigate, as regulations are often unclear and may not align with the realities of international transactions. PITI 2024 provides a unique opportunity to explore the complexities of US-Mexico tax relations and understand the far-reaching impacts of cross-border transactions. Sardar’s session will focus on contemporary issues surrounding foreign reporting obligations, upcoming changes expected in 2025, and strategies to best prepare clients for tax compliance measures.
