Only country in the world to tax based on citizenship instead of residency… Being forced to declare taxes as an expat is a hassle. What are these benefits they speak of??? I’d gladly give mine up if it wasn’t such a hassle and so expensive to do so.
Here’s a question I have never understood about this. I understand all of this if you are planning on returning to living in the US at some point. But if you’ve moved to a foreign country with no plans on returning to the US, why are you still paying taxes? What is stopping you from telling the US government to go pound sand?
I’m not meaning to sound sarcastic. It’s a legit question. I don’t know how any of this works and the issues surrounding it. Because I would think that if I lived in a foreign country I’d be telling Uncle Sam where he can stick his tax bill. That’s kinda the whole point of leaving. What prevents people from doing this, especially if they don’t plan to return to the US?
FATCA Act. Canada and USA have an agreement. The USA can literally take money from a Canadian citizen’s bank account.
This baffles me. I just can’t see where, as a world leader, I would ever allow a foreign government access to my country’s banking system at all, let alone just yank money out of someone’s account. I’d be telling the US exactly where they can stick that idea. If they have a problem with a US citizen not paying taxes, then the US can handle it if and when that person sets foot on US soil.
I’d be curious as to how much revenue this generates for the US government. I’d also love to see other countries start rescinding these permissions in retaliation for Trump violating established trade deals. It might not be enough to get Trump to back down, but I still see it as a good opportunity to get bad policies off the books that should never have existed in the first place.
Countries need to start doing shit like that even if only to send a message to Trump and the US that no, the US doesn’t actually rule the world. It’ll never happen, I know, but one can dream.
Extradition.
