True. The FEIE does cut that down a bit, but anything over the FEIE limits would still be subject to tax in the US, though not in the host country, as you ment

True. The FEIE does cut that down a bit, but anything over the FEIE limits would still be subject to tax in the US, though not in the host country, as you mentioned. I was simply making the point that having a bona fide tax residence in a country with a lower tax rate than the US does not necessarily mean that taxes will simply be those of the host country with lower tax rates (e.g. Dubai, Singapore, etc.).
