Not the only country. Norway will also tax citizens in certain circumstances. I believe though Norwegians can state they have left the country permanently (though can still return) and lose rights to social benefits such as unemployment payments until you have been working in the country again.
- Broken_Hippo 11y agoSince living in Norway, I've learned of this. It seems that the taxes are generally when you are making money from Norway - it is possible to get disability money from norway, taxed, and live abroad. You do lose the social benefit rights, but you keep your taxed income. My understanding is that they figured that in the long run, it actually saves the country money because of the lack of social services provided, and works out if one moves to a place with a strong exchange rate against the NOK.
- jleyank 11y agoOne advantage of the US system is that they don't care when you switch your country of residence. My understanding of places like Canada and Australia is that emigration can cause a tax hit as you have to logically liquidate your assets in a final tax filing. Can non-US-ians comment on this?
