Ok but if you're from a high-tax country and work temporarily in Iceland you're paying those higher taxes without most of the benefits. You can't access the better healthcare, education, and safer streets of your home country.
- gumby 4y agoYou’re getting those benefits in general, though not at that instant, but is the tax you pay on march 28th making every street you drive on that day better? No, it’s smeared around spatially and temporally. If you’re in Iceland for six months you might not even owe taxes in your home country for that period.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoAmericans owe taxes at home forever no matter what*, which tilts the calculus somewhat.
