Double taxation for American expatriates by timoday1
Hello, I am an American expatriate. Please sign my petition to change the current tax system from a citizenship based taxation to a resident based taxation so that the 8.7 million expatriates can afford to live and raise a family outside the USA. ...
Hi timoday1 Your petition is only one of hundreds of efforts to get the US to understand the plight of US Expats. These, unfortunately, are failing and we are seeing the rise of US-as-dictator. They will pay when China's currency exchange bank ... Read More
Dual citizens and FATCA in Greece. by Telesilla
Hello everybody. I hope you will excuse any mistakes in English. I am a Greek American living in Greece for ... ever (almost). We moved back to Greece when I was only six. Now I just recieved a letter from my bank that I ought to fill in a w-9 form, ...
Hi, I'm writing from Canada. I've been following the FATCA issue very closely for about 18 months. The best resources for asking FATCA questions and getting support in your decisions (about forms at the banks, about possible renunciation ... Read More

This summary of how Canada has implemented its FATCA intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. on reporting on U.S. citizens may be of interest. It was written by a Toronto based law firm, WeirFoulds LLP: What is FATCA? The Foreign Account Tax ...
Not necessarily too late according to a number of highly regarded constitutional, tax and citizenship legal experts. See the Alliance for the Defence of Canadian Sovereignty ( http://www.adcs-adsc.ca/ ) and, if you do not think the US should be ... Read More

Journalist seeking American expats in Toronto by krachel
Hi everyone, I'm a journalism student at Ryerson University here in Toronto and I'm writing a piece on American expats in Toronto. I'm interested in hearing about people's experiences, what they like/dislike here, what they miss ...
Are you still interested in this topic? Are you interested in how American's living in Toronto feel about what their country-of-origin is doing to their lives while they live here in Canada? Are you familiar with FATCA? Want to know more? ... Read More

I am no loonier than you, Sawman. You who may be able to "share" the "information rules" as have been imposed on Canada by the US, but (it appears, and particularly given that you are NOT an Expat and DO NOT live in Canada) ... Read More

Sawman, [Moderated item ] Well, what do you, from your comfortable chair as a non-US-expat, know about the draconian effects of FATCA on US persons living abroad? Perhaps you have swallowed the "homelander myth" that all US persons ... Read More

Thorough information, SAWMAN. However, readers should be made aware that this information comes straight from a compliance-industry (accountancy/tax-filing) company which makes it's money with more and more US tax filing rules (so has a very ... Read More
Americans Banking in VN - Compare banks - FATCA discussion by cvco
I had been reading the Bank Comparison thread from the start and was itching to talk about FATCA and then finally someone did. But we will start this thread to continue comparisons of banks but from the American perspective as its they who are ...
CVCO - Clearly this is a thread where people living overseas are finding out about/ interested in FATCA issues So I added my newbie-to-this-blogsite info RE FATCA, including mention of the Isaacbrocksociety site from Canada which has been focusing ... Read More
FATCA and FBAR in Brazil; who's running the show here anyway??? by James
By now the reality of the US Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Foreign Bank Account Reporting (FBAR) has sunk in with US citizens in Brazil. It kind of makes you wonder just who's running the show in this country anyway, the ...
Accurate - - this is not a tax-deductible charitable contribution. But people contribute to political causes all the time to support what they believe in. If one feels that FATCA is a repugnant invasion of sovereignty and privacy, they can put ... Read More
banking in Ecuador by jillnsy
I have just joined your forum in hopes to get some real answers from real people who feel the same way we do. We are retiring to Ecuador in June 2012 most likely on the ocean (Crucita)or a little south of Manta.We live in Ontario Canada right now. ...
From my reading, I disagree. It seems to me there is a strong urge to revamp and simplify the US tax system which is overwhelmingly complex and patchwork. Whether or not this will eliminate citizen-based in preference for residence-based taxes (to ... Read More

From the great white north: I totally agree with James in his rage against the US presuming to rule the laws of the world and, especially, the chinking away of Canadian sovereign rights to legislate within it's borders. But also I am stunned ... Read More

SawMan - The Canadian lawsuit makes no claims about US law, only the infringement of Canadian law in Canada. Jim Bopp and Republicans Overseas will have to do their legal work inside the US to overthrow FATCA. But I still contend that the ... Read More

I think there is no possibility for the repeal of FATCA although I feel that it may go through some tweaking around the edges over time. The US was failing to sell this plan to foreign countries, as I understand it, until they began to agree to ... Read More

It's maybe the only chance in the world for US Expats (and anyone else disturbed by this unmitigated extortion) to try to fight this invasive, extraterritorial law.This lawsuit, even if successful (which it won't be) will have no effect ... Read More
