Ending The Double Taxation Of Americans Abroad
ExpatriationLaw - X Spaces Lives Discussions - Ending Double Taxation Of Americans Abroad
In 2024 President (then candidate) Trump pledged to end the "double taxation" of Americans abroad. This was welcome news to the community of overseas Americans. The Trump pledge was largely the result of work done by Republicans Overseas and the Republicans Overseas tax committee.
2024 was also a year of other groups and individuals "coming together" in an organized way to end the unfair taxation of Americans abroad.
I (John Richardson) started a series of live "X Spaces" discussions for the purpose of discussion of the taxation of the U.S. citizenship tax system - inflicted on Overseas Americans. The purpose of the discussions is to gain understanding and achieve agreement on the most important aspects of the problems. Where is there agreement? Generally, (regardless of specific differences) overseas Americans are united around the goal that Overseas Americans should be treated the same as nonresident aliens for the purpose of U.S. income taxation.
I am reposting the "X Discussions" here so that there is a record of what was said, by whom and why.
