It is easy to send the Bill, to the Registered Address, what is hard to do, is get them to PAY IT......... Until, that is, you want to return to the USA. The IRS has a mighty long reach. And the US is about the only nation in the world that taxes its citizens on income earned abroad. If you carry a US passport and you reside in another country and earn all your income in that country, the IRS wants its share. I have a friend in Venezuela who finally said "Screw this!" and renounced his US citizenship. We have somewhat similar policies.....although they may make a bit more sense up here. I have a buddy who has spent almost his entire working life in the Carribean working on boats etc..wherever he can support himself while contributing nothing in Canadian taxes. He is counting on eventually returning wnen he can no longer work to our old age pension, guaranteed income supplement and socialized medicine. (plus a small Canada Pension amount for a half dozen years working in this country). Pretty minimal but he's lived the majority of his life as one long vacation. He'll still be as well off as the working poor. |
