Let's say I am an American citizen living in France. Why US government doesn't close a tax treaty with French and demand 20% of the total amount I pay for all the taxes annually in France?
- k-mcgrady 11y agoWhy would the French agree to that?
- xxs 11y agoCause that's robbery.
- masklinn 11y agoBecause that makes no sense? Why would the french state give part of its (perfectly normal and standard) income tax back to the US for no reason?
- gutnor 11y agoIt makes sense if it is bilateral ( US giving money to France for French people working there ) and common enough that both countries don't want to deal with the hassle. The real problem is that the US is the odd one here. Every other country save 1 or 2 tax people income based on residence . So there is a legal clash that probably prevent any kind of sane and simple bilateral agreement like the one most of the first world countries have between themselves.
