Kenneth Ahl and Mark Oberstaedt Featured in National Law Journal Article on Recent SCOTUS Ruling on Foreign Investment Reporting
Archer partners Mark Oberstaedt and Kenneth Ahl spoke with the National Law Journal providing important insight around the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Bittner v. U.S., in which the Court ruled to alter the penalty structure for those who fail to report income from other countries. In Brad Kutner’s article, "Tax Attorneys Welcome SCOTUS Ruling on Foreign Investment Reporting Rules With Cautious Optimism," Kutner writes “tax attorneys are already taking the U.S. Supreme Court up on their new interpretation of penalties associated with taxes on foreign income,” which is the case for Kenneth who said he’s already acting on behalf of clients in the wake of Bittner v. U.S., stating, “We’re not talking about $100 claims here, this is something worthwhile claiming in court.”
