"The United States has learned how to keep capital in and how to attract foreign capital!"

 

In this episode, Jimmy Sexton and John Richardson discuss why the United States is such an attractive place to invest for nonresident aliens. In other words, the opportunities are NOT available to U.S. citizens or U.S. residents.

Topics discussed include:

- how U.S. tax laws are desgined to attract foreign capital to from a U.S. tax perspective

- how U.S. tax laws which promote secrecy operate to enhance the role of the United States as a tax haven

- how the combination of FATCA (the U.S. demands your information but will not reciprocate) and the refusal to sign CRS (the U.S. will not share information) have enhanced the attractiveness of the United States as a tax haven

- how the use of LLCs and foreign Grantor Trusts can be used by nonresident aliens

- how the U.S. tax rules that are used to attract foreign capital planted the seeds that grew into  the current S. 877A expatriation tax
