Windstar’s Paula N. Singer, Esq. Featured as Panelist on the IRS “International Tax Issues: Understanding Tax Treaties” Webcast

Norwood, MA, May 14, 2008 – Windstar Technologies co-founder and chairman, Paula N. Singer, Esq. recently appeared as a panelist on the IRS “International Tax Issues: Understanding Tax Treaties” webcast held live on www.TaxTalkToday.tv.

“There was tremendous interest in the webcast,” said Singer. “In addition to the high attendance, tax practitioners e-mailed over 80 questions on their international tax issues. This interest demonstrates the need for trusted information on how to handle the U.S. taxation of cross-border payments – withholding, reporting, and exemption from tax under the Internal Revenue Code or tax treaties – as well as issues that apply to individuals who have relocated cross border both outbound and inbound.”

The webcast educated tax practitioners on the issues surrounding payments covered by tax treaties, utilizing discussion and interactive questions from those who viewed the event. An on-demand version of the webcast is available at www.TaxTalkToday.tv.
