You might have lived outside the US for years, even decades, but that doesn’t mean that you escape the clutches of the IRS.
Citizen-based taxation, coupled with the US’ FATCA legislation, can have a serious impact on Americans in France, affecting everything from completing tax declarations, the type of investments you can make and even whether you can open a bank account.
A recent study from the organisation “Stop Extraterritorial American Taxation” (SEAT) garnered hundreds of responses from Americans living across the world, with many sharing their frustration with citizenship-based taxation and FATCA.
The Local would like to hear from American readers in France about their experiences with citizenship-based taxation and FATCA and what – if any – problems it creates for you.
