How can a non citizen pay taxes?
- kinkrtyavimoodh 6y agoIs this a joke? The US is EXTREMELY happy to collect taxes from people around the world and to call them resident aliens for tax purposes if they stay in the country for more than half a year or a given combination of days in the preceding 4-5 years.
- afwe 6y agoWhy aren't they kicked out? Why do people need green cards if they can stay?
- dragonwriter 6y agoPeople with green cards, by definition, are not citizens.
- notdang 6y agoI am not a citizen, but pay taxes(not US). In most cases it's not the citizenship that matters for taxes, but person's fiscal residency and normally it's where you live more than 6 months in a year. Of course, being a US citizen it's a little bit different, you have to declare and sometimes pay the taxes in different countries.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> How can a non citizen pay taxes? How does not having citizenship make it harder to pay taxes?
- Bayart 6y agoWhy would a non-citizen not pay taxes ? If you're settled somewhere legally and earn money, you're going to pay taxes. It's pretty much universal (aside from certain tax heavens and countries too weak to even collect taxes)
- jlokier 6y agoSigh. This came up before recently. So many people believe non-citizens don't pay taxes. So many people believe non-citizens are undocumented, not allowed to work legally, etc. The vast majority of non-citizens who work pay taxes the same as citizens, everywhere in the world as far as I know. They often pay the state more than citizens (because of various substantial fees, every year in some countries), while receiving less for it. It breaks my heart, to think anti-immigrant sentiments may be helped along by such misguided beliefs.
