He's a US citizen. He should pay US taxes like other US citizens.
That's what the law says. Lots of people with US citizenship live abroad. They get benefits from having a US passport even if they don't think they're actively using it. This isn't hard. ;-) Cheers, Scott. |

hate to agree with boxley, but
...apparently the US government has lately been putting the squeeze on individuals who were born here of foreign nationals, or who were born abroad of US citizens but never lived here, and presumably never reaped the questionable benefits of life in this savage police state. In their position, I'd drop by the US embassy and renounce that identity in an Old York minute. cordially, |

I have two other passports besides my american one
glad those two countries are not trying to gauge me for tax money, I can barely afford to pay taxes here.

Fly in the ointment...
Renouncing citizenship costs a lump sum of 40% of their assessment of your resources. You can't just flip them the bird and walk away. "Religion, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable." ~ AMBROSE BIERCE (1842-1914) |

Huh? *Any* resources?
If you're talking about resources *in the US*, then that's a perfectly normal equity tax[*]. (Perhaps a little arbitrarily assessed, for all I can tell, but still.) Are you saying Rand's example of someone who happens to have US citizenship but has practically never set foot there, will have his resources *elsewhere* impounded upon renouncing his US citizenship? Any sources on that? -- Christian R. Conrad Same old username (as above), but now on iki.fi (Yeah, yeah, it redirects to the same old GMail... But just in case I ever want to change.)

I seem to be out of date.
It appears to have been relaxed in 2008. Unsurprising, given the subservience to the rich. There is still an exit tax but there are a lot more loopholes in it now. I haven't the time or interest to read a bunch of IRS forms to be more specific. Sorry about that. "Religion, n.
