This was already discussed earlier ITT, he would have to give up his citizenship (i.e. become a British citizen), and even so it takes a while to get rid of the American taxes... And on your example, it's not like you pay full taxes in the US and the UK on the 20k above 80k (there are some double taxation treaties in place), but the US will want some part for sure.

Seems like a very unfair rule. Many people may live abroad for decades and may cease to have any contacts to US except nationality. And they'll get nothing from the US in return during that time. Im from Finland and the rule here is that if you move abroad you pay income tax to Finland for as long as you are considered to have links to Finland. Links meaning something that implies that you have not entirely left the country to permanently live abroad. Its presumed that you have this kind of links for a period 6 months after you move abroad after which its presumed that you dont. Both presumptions can be overturned by proof to the contrary. I find all of this very fair.

She clearly can't spell it either, that's where he's getting the wrong spelling from. I'm having trouble with the seafront bit though. Has the Thames Barrier recently collapsed?

Not to go too far OT in this thread, but your comment of the Finnish income tax system in relation to having to pay taxes to Finland is completely off. It's much more complicated and dependent on the country you're moving to, your employment in that country etc. There is no automatic assumption of "links" for 6 months, even though this is sometimes the position that the tax office tries to take, it has been succesfully challenged on numerous occasions, the burden of proof for links lies with the tax office not with you. Anyway, pretty far OT...

Yea I don't the rule that well, but the general gist I got from him was that not only was he paying UK taxes on his income there, but getting double taxed on any additional amount over 80k by the US.

Not atleast entirely true. Not sure if the minimum is 10 years (didn't actually think so, thought it was a varying amount from when you give up your citizenship), but if you don't give up your citizenship you'll be paying beyond the 10 years for sure. As said, I personally know several individuals who have given up their US citizenship solely for the purpose of not having to pay taxes to the US in the future. It's actually surprisingly common in the UK to find Americans who've done this...

I have lived in the NYC, Brighton, and Brixton. The last two are disgusting places. Brixton in particular. I certainly *hope* he is getting some tax benefit to sweeten the deal. Either that or he must truly be in love.

Howver, Im sure he is going to be paying a good chunk of tax to the US for a long time.

Maybe if Alba had an enormous nose and unremarkable body. But who cares, the guy's a cheat, I have no sympathy for a guy like that, even if he's moving to be with a ugly broad.

dont know about the nose but those eyes and the mouth look exactly the same

i always read this "you still owe 10 years after renounced citizenship"

my question is, how do they intend to enforce this, if you're not a ****ing citizen?

are they really extraditing people for not paying taxes to a country they don't reap any benefits from

seems kinda... weird.

Unfair maybe. However you are not getting "nothing" in return. If a US citizen ever gets in trouble in a foreign country (not necassarily England) as a US citizen you will be glad you paid your taxes then. Foreign embassies and consulates are huge helps if you get yourself in a jam somewhere out of the states.

I live in Brighton! Would it be weird to talk to him if i saw him in the street?
Might ask him if he needs someone to walk his dog.
