Tony MalikAnthony Malik | Principal Consultant

Anthony (“Tony”) Malik is a seasoned international tax and business consultant with a career spanning over a decade and a half. He provides expert cross-border tax planning and compliance services to both individuals and businesses. Tony advises multinational businesses on the tax aspects of foreign market entry and exit, profit repatriation, transfer pricing, corporate restructuring, and purchases and sales of businesses. He also consults individuals on complex international tax issues such as stock options from multinationals, pre-immigration tax planning, U.S. citizenship/green card renunciation (expatriation), and tax-beneficial holding structures for real estate and financial investments.

Tony is also a federally enrolled legal representative with unlimited practice and taxpayer representation rights. Tony prudently learns of his clients’ international tax predicaments and zealously represents them in various taxpayer amnesty programs as well as in audits conducted by the IRS’s Large Business and International (LB&I) Division. Tony is fervently committed to the best practices under Circular 230 and exhausts all available administrative remedies to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients.

Tony previously managed international tax compliance and controversy planning at a tier-one CPA firm. Prior to that, Tony was a tax litigation specialist at a prominent law firm working alongside former IRS tax lawyers and accountants. He is a frequent speaker to professional tax and CPA societies as well as a contributor to industry-leading journals on taxation. Tony, incidentally the creator of the blog Philosophia Polymathematica, is a philosopher at heart and is keenly aware that the mastery of his craft would have never been as complete without the deep philosophical base he is able to give it.
