Federal and State Tax Compliance

Moss Adams offers the full range of tax return preparation and review services for apparel companies. We offer our clients the personal attention of senior tax professionals experienced in working with companies in the apparel industry.

Consulting

Our tax planning strategies for apparel companies are earnings focused – offering real tax savings that improve the company’s cash flow. We work with our clients to minimize the company’s worldwide tax burden by identifying permanent tax savings, and preserving tax benefits available in the future. Examples of the tax planning strategies that have particular value to our apparel company clients include:

Mergers and Acquisitions

Moss Adams is frequently asked to give advice on taxable and nontaxable purchase and sale transactions. Our specialists work with both buyers and sellers to achieve the optimum tax solution for all parties. Moss Adams Capital is dedicated to assisting owners of private companies who wish to sell their businesses.

International Tax

Hundreds of Moss Adams clients trade internationally or operate offshore subsidiaries or joint ventures. We have specialists throughout the firm with deep knowledge in international aspects of U.S. taxation and broad experience consulting with companies doing business in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Asia.

Through our domestic and international affiliation with Praxity we can support all aspects of our clients’ international businesses, including compliance with U.S. international tax regulations, compliance with foreign country tax regulations, developing appropriate tax strategies, assessing form of business options, and meeting accounting compliance requirements.

State and Local Tax

As clients operations grow, we recognize that state and local taxes are an increasingly important issue. Moss Adams provides comprehensive specialized state and local tax services, including but not limited to, real estate tax issues, multi-state exposure, cost containment and Internet taxation.

Cost Segregation

Cost segregation is a service we provide to our apparel clients allowing you to accelerate depreciation deductions on your new construction projects, acquisitions, and existing facilities. By using proven tax strategies to determine the correct depreciable lives, this process can help maximize your cash flow by generating immediate significant tax savings.
