El metaverso se refiere a un mundo virtual altamente inmersivo donde las personas puedrán reunirse para socializar, jugar, trabajar y comerciar con bienes y servicios virtuales (y no virtuales). Algunos lo llaman un universo paralelo, poblado por avatares y toda forma de elementos digitales (en forma de NFTs) que se encuentran en nuestro mundo diario.
The metaverse refers to an immersive virtual world where individuals can socialize, play, work, and trade in virtual (and non-virtual) goods and services. Many questions come to mind as we all begin to navigate this virtual space. Will global tax authorities be able to assert tax authority over transactions occurring in a virtual arena that lacks the type of provincial, state, and national boundaries that provide the framework for real-world tax administration?
Existen múltiples razones por las cuales los inversionistas latinoamericanos, tanto familias como empresas, buscan invertir en los EE. UU. Estados Unidos ofrece el mercado de consumo más grande y el gasto doméstico más alto del mundo, lo que representa más de una cuarta parte del consumo doméstico mundial.

I’ve heard this many times over the years.

While organisations often overlook tax-compliance requirements related to business travel, the days of simply traveling to and working in a different state or country for business without a thought to tax liabilities are coming to an end.

Extensive time spent on business travel in a country outside the US, or even a different state within the US, could create a PE exposure for the employing entity.

While the European Union (EU) just began active enforcement of a sweeping new data privacy regime, that news generated far less visibility in the United States, largely because many people assume that their business or personal interests are not affected by the change.

The tax treatment of UK tax residents on income from US Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) continues to be a source of concern for many advisers. The short end of the stick is that providing the income always belonged to the LLC members then HMRC will allow a tax credit against UK tax for any US tax suffered. Of course it’s a bit more complicated than that, and set out below is a bit more detail of the UK Supreme Court's reasoning and judgment.
