JR - https://americanexpatfinance.com/news/item/299-eu-parliament-fatca-impact-hearing-tuesday

A fascinating interview with one of the early "Anti-FATCA Pioneers".

Topics include:

- the "Oh My God" moment: what it means and how to respond to it

- the EU petition

- Jenny's anti-FATCA "GDPR" based lawsuit

- the need for improving the support for these initiatives

The problem of using FATCA to support US Extraterritorial taxation is larger than the problems of any one individual.

More help is required ...

In Part 3, we discuss how US IRAs and 401ks are taxed to nonresident aliens. Hint: You need to understand the US rules, the local rules and how the tax treaty may modify those rules. This is a difficult and fascinating topic with huge consequences!

Nonresident aliens who created IRAs and 401ks in the United States will find this of particular interest.

Green card holders who have had the Green Card for eight of the last fifteen years before abandoning the Green Card will be subject to the US Section 877A Exit Tax rules. To be forewarned is to be forearmed!

There is a difference between the rules for taxation and the rules for immigration. It's entirely possible to have lost the right under US immigration law to live in the United States, but still be subject to US worldwide taxation.
