A California administrative law attorney can evaluate the agency's allegations, preserve available hearing rights, and prepare the record for settlement, hearing, or later judicial review.

Cross-Border M&A Law Firm: Tax Structuring and Firpta Compliance
FIRPTA generally requires a transferee to withhold 15% of the amount realized when a foreign person disposes of a U.S. .eal property interest. The obligation runs to the buyer, and a buyer that does not withhold becomes liable for the tax itself, with interest and penalties. In an M&A context the question usually arises through stock rather than land. Where 50% or more of the fair market value of a target’s assets consists of U.S. .eal property interests, the target is a United States real property holding corporation and its shares are themselves a U.S. .eal property interest. A share purchase from a foreign seller can therefore carry a withholding obligation that neither party expected. Several exceptions turn on documents obtained before closing rather than afterward: a non-foreign affidavit from the seller under § 1445(b)(2), the exception for a personal residence acquired for $300,000 or less, and a withholding certificate from the IRS on Form 8288-B reducing the amount where the actual tax will be lower. Where withholding applies, Forms 8288 and 8288-A and the payment are due within 20 days of the transfer, which is why the determination belongs in the closing checklist rather than in post-closing tax work.
