Exploring American Expat Taxes:
US Tax Obligations:
US citizens and green card holders are obligated to report their worldwide income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), regardless of their place of residence. This means that American expats in the UK must file US tax returns and report their income from all sources, both in the UK and abroad.
Foreign Tax Credits:
To mitigate the risk of double taxation, US expats may be eligible for foreign tax credits on income earned in the UK. Understanding and utilising these credits can help reduce their US tax liability.
Tax Treaty Benefits:
The US-UK tax treaty provides provisions that can affect the tax treatment of various income types for US expats. Familiarity with the treaty is crucial to optimising one’s tax position.
