Avoid costly mistakes with an awareness of the risk areas and proper documentation. Areas of risk include: (1) Payments for services (i.e. Independent contractor services, director fees); (2) Payments to foreign shareholders, lenders, and royalty interest owners; and (3) Mergers or acquisitions involving real estate, mineral interests, certain U.S. partnership interests, or even stock in a U.S. corporation.
