No, single taxation is cool. Double taxation, as I mentioned, isn't. There's a whole lot of people in Kansas City dance with a state line every day. They have that worked out - this is something new for Alabama which needs to be resolved.
- Arnt 4y agoDoesn't the federal US do the same thing? If an American citizen lives in a low-tax place, US tax applies until that person's tax burden is at least as high as in the US. I'm not going to argue that this is a just thing to do, but if it's legal federally I'd like to know what's going to keep Alabama from doing it.
- jleyank 4y agoDo non Americans pay tax to the us if they work for a us company outside the states? As this seems to be what Alabama is trying to do.
- Arnt 4y agoYou have the right idea. The special thing about the US federal tax is that it covers everyone the law covers. Most countries tax residents or some other subset, perhaps "residents old enough to work", you get the idea. The difference is the set of people who are subject to US federal law for a reason other than residence. There are things you can do that bring you into scope, including some forms of work.
