The U.S. government has cited a number of issues, including various federal regulations having to do with such things as "standing" and "unlawful disclosure of a tax return", in its official response to Israel-based U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver's latest legal challenge to President Trump's Transition Tax regulations, according to a posting on the Silver & Co. website.

A U.S. Supreme Court decision having to do with a Civil War-era law known as "the Anti-Injunction Act" is being hailed by Israel-based U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver as a victory for U.S. taxpayers, as well as "very good news" for his recent and ongoing efforts to challenge the Transition Tax element of Donald Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Monte Silver, the Israel-based U.S. tax attorney who recently saw his and his company's legal attempt to challenge the Transition Tax and GILTI elements of former Donald Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act dismissed on a technicality, has made good on his vow to continue to pursue the matter "to the very end," with the filing of two motions in a U.S. District Court on Friday. 

Monte Silver, the Israel-based U.S. tax attorney who recently saw his and his company's legal attempt to challenge the Transition Tax element of former Donald  Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act dismissed on a technicality, says he's now decided to appeal the March 28 decision, and is inviting supporters and other expat small-business owners to help him finance it.  

In a ruling that has surprised many in the expatriate American community, a U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. has officially declared Tel Aviv-headquartered U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver and his company "lack constitutional standing to pursue their claims" – thus ending, at least for now, Silver's feisty effort to force the U.S. Treasury to take small overseas businesses owned by Americans into account in its enforcement of President Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  

More than a year after a U.S. District Court judge ruled that Tel Aviv-headquartered U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver could go ahead with his legal challenge to a key component of President Trump's December 2017 tax reform legislation, his right to bring the challenge is continuing to be the central issue in the case, it emerged earlier this week.

A major and potentially precedent-setting legal challenge to a key component of President Trump's December 2017 tax reform legislation, as it applies to "controlled foreign corporations", will move at last to a U.S. district courtroom in Washington, D.C. on Monday, more than two years after it was launched.

For the first time since she began sponsoring her annual International Tax Conference in 2011, Deborah J. Hicks is arranging for the event to take place online this year, owing to the Covid pandemic, and consequent global lockdown.

Over four days beginning on Tuesday the 26th of January, ten experts from around the world will be sharing their expertise on a range of financial topics of interest to American expats, as part of the first of what it is thought could become a series of "virtual financial summits" aimed at Americans who live outside of the U.S.

In June, 2018, cross-border tax experts issued their first warnings that a then-just-passed U.S. Supreme Court ruling, in a case known as South Dakota v. Wayfair, would have far-reaching effects on e-commerce businesses that sold their products across U.S. state borders – including those selling into the U.S. from abroad.

As predicted, the decision has left many business owners around the world scratching their heads – and seeking advice.
