US taxes will be paid to the government prior to distributing rewards, both Federal and State. OffRecord will need to know which state is your legal state of residence and OffRecord intends to always abide by all laws and tax standards of each region of the country. This is to prevent any problems with the IRS and similar agencies. We will do all that we can to assist you in minimizing these costs to our government agencies, though you are obliged to pay your tax obligations in the same way we are obliged to pay ours. And because we are the initial recipient of the full reward, we will ultimately be held accountable for ensuring they are paid to the IRS; so we intend to simply get them done before paying the reward. This ensures everything is completed as cleanly and efficiently as possible, preventing challenges for all of us in the future. Should you receive a sizable reward in this process, it may be necessary for you to hire a strong tax advisor help manage the process and maximize what you receive. We will be happy to be a sounding board to you in that selection process, though we are not tax advisors ourselves. We too will seek counsel in these areas.
International Taxes
If a case is presented from outside of the United States, OffRecord will seek counsel to ensure we can take on the case - and we will also seek tax counsel to ensure appropriate government taxes are met prior to distributing rewards in those regions as well. OffRecord desires to see its clients receive the maximum reward that they possibly can, while being fully responsible within the confines of the US and international, legal and regulatory systems.
