Some tax questions are not about filing a return — they are about a decision: a job offer in another country, an inheritance with assets abroad, a divorce with property in two countries, a planned relocation. TWO.TAX prepares a written country-by-country analysis of the client's specific situation, comparing the real after-tax outcome under each option, so the decision is made with numbers instead of guesses.

Typical cases

• Job offers in different countries — e.g. an American living in Germany weighing offers in London and Amsterdam: same gross salary, very different net outcome once German exit rules, UK or Dutch taxation, US citizenship-based filing and social security are counted. The analysis compares the actual offers side by side.
• Inheritances across borders — which country taxes the inheritance, what allowances and deadlines apply, and how a later sale or transfer would be taxed. The order of steps often changes the outcome significantly.
• Divorce with international assets — property transfers, pension splits and maintenance payments are taxed differently in each country; a transfer that is tax-free domestically can be taxable across a border. The analysis shows the settlement's real after-tax effect before it is signed.
• Relocation and residency planning — exit taxes, pension treatment, and which double-taxation agreement applies after the move.
• Pensions and investment accounts — IRA, 401(k), RRSP, SIPP, Superannuation, Riester: every country treats each of them differently under each option.

What the client receives

• A written country-by-country comparison of the specific situation — after-tax and after-social-security outcome for each option
• The effect of the applicable double-taxation agreements, worked through correctly
• One-time costs of each path: exit tax, deregistration, transfer taxes
• A clear recommendation with the reasoning, delivered in plain English, followed by a call to walk through it
