Foreign tax paperwork inside a US file
Foreign tax returns and assessments, certificates of tax residence, payroll and withholding statements, VAT registrations and social-security contribution histories all end up in front of American readers: a mortgage underwriter verifying income earned abroad, an immigration officer looking at a form that asks about it, an accountant supporting a treaty position, a court dividing assets.
They are dense, they are full of terms of art, and they are written for a tax administration that assumes the reader already knows its system.
The terms have no American equivalents, so they keep their names
VAT is not sales tax. A declaración de la renta is not a Form 1040. A national tax identification number is not a Social Security number, and a régime réel simplifié has no US counterpart at all. We render the original terms and keep the names of the taxes as they are, explaining where a reader needs the help, because mapping a foreign tax onto an American one is an accounting judgement with consequences.
The same goes for the fiscal period. Plenty of countries run a tax year that does not begin in January, and a translation that silently relabels it as a calendar year misstates what the document covers.
Figures stay in their currency
Amounts are reproduced in the currency they were assessed in, with the period and the issuing authority's stamps and reference numbers intact. Converting them would attach an exchange rate the document never used, on a date nobody chose.
If what you need is a readable version for your accountant rather than a certified one for a filing, standard translation is usually the cheaper answer for a long return — ask before ordering.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where a page is up to 250 words.
A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at $0.10 per word.
Frequently asked questions
Do you convert the amounts into US dollars?
No. Figures stay in the original currency, with the tax period beside them, so whoever needs a conversion can apply the right rate for the right date.
Does a tax return need a certified translation?
It depends on who is asking. Lenders and government filings usually want certification; an accountant working on your file often does not. Standard translation is cheaper for long documents.
Do we need the entire return or just the summary?
Send what was asked for. Underwriters often want the full return with its schedules; other readers only need the assessment page.
