Monte Silver, the American tax attorney resident in Israel who has been challenging elements of President Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (TCJA) that he says would devastate small overseas businesses run by Americans – such as his – said final regulations issued by the U.S. Treasury Department yesterday represented a “huge win for our advocacy”.

Monte Silver, the American tax attorney resident in Israel who in January 2019 filed a still-ongoing lawsuit that challenges the so-called Transition Tax element of President Trump's 2017 tax reform legislation, has filed another lawsuit, also in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, over another aspect of the same Trump bill.

The Republicans Overseas, “as well as several of its chapters”, have filed a "motion for a leave to file" amicus brief in a potentially precedent-setting legal challenge to a key element of President Trump’s 2017 tax reform legislation, being brought in Washington, D.C. by Israel-based U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver.

American expatriates who own small- and medium-sized small business corporations outside the U.S. are expressing growing concern over what they say is a move by two Washington lawmakers to legislatively reverse a 2019 interpretation by the U.S. Treasury of elements of President Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which had been meant to help such individual owner/operators of such small, non-U.S. businesses, who had originally been hard-hit by the Trump legislation.

For Israel-based American tax law specialist Monte Silver, what was to turn out to be one of the key components of his legal challenge against President Donald Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act didn't exactly leap from the 250 pages of the final draft of the regulations, as he first studied them after they were issued in August 2018...

With the New Hampshire Democratic Primary set for next Tuesday, and, as reported, the Democrats Abroad's Global Presidential Primary scheduled for March 3 to 10, expats are increasingly desperate to know where the candidates stand on such key issues as FATCA, citizenship-based taxation and President Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

None of the candidates thus far, however, has shown quite the same level of enthusiasm for going on the record in detail with respect to their positions on such topics...

Weeks after a U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. ruled in his favor by denying a U.S. government effort to prevent him from legally challenging a key component of President Trump's December 2017 tax reform legislation, Tel Aviv-headquartered U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver has unveiled plans to undertake a  global road trip, to "meet all those who have supported the cause".

A U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. said on Tuesday that it "reject[ed]" claims by the Internal Revenue Service that Tel Aviv-headquartered U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver and his fellow plaintiffs  "lacked standing" to challenge a key component of President Trump's December 2017 tax reform legislation, as it applies to controlled foreign corporations. 

Silver called the ruling a "massive win" for him and other small business owners impacted by Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, because it meant that his potentially "precedent-setting case" can now go ahead. 

Israel-based U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver has formally countered the Internal Revenue Service’s motion earlier this month to dismiss his and his company's ongoing lawsuit that challenges a key component of President Trump's December 2017 tax reform legislation.

The Internal Revenue Service has moved to dismiss a lawsuit brought five months ago by Israel-based U.S. tax attorney Monte Silver – which challenged a key component of President Trump's December 2017 tax reform legislation as it applies to controlled foreign corporations – on grounds that Silver and his fellow plaintiffs in the matter "lacked standing."
