Which, if you're moderately successful and/or earn in euros or pounds, is very easy to reach.
And you have to pay the US first, meaning the country where you stay is gipped, even while providing THEY provide you with social services.
Which the US, of course, doesn't.
- octover 17y agoYou pay the country you live in first, or else the US Embassy in Stockholm, various international tax accountant/lawyers and every double taxation treaty I've seen is wrong.
- ahoyhere 17y agoThat's not what my tax specialist says. It probably varies depending on the country the treaty is with or maybe there's something nutty about my income. Trust me, I don't misremember - it made me mad as hell.
- david927 17y agoI would double-check your tax specialist. I've never heard that before.
- octover 17y agoHey if the US and Austria (I believe I saw you comment somewhere else that it is where you live) then that's really what matters. Here employment taxes are taken out like in the US, you never see the money so it would be impossible to pay the US first and then the local tax authority. My company registration is Swedish and my only ties to the US are citizenship, a credit card and bank account.
