Greetings,
Looks like congress is going to give this another go in 2019.
https://www.theamerican.co.uk/pr/ne-Tax-Fairness-Act-2019-Plans-Solomon-Yue.php
As a US citizen currently living overseas I find this intriguing.
The positives: Greatly simplifies tax compliance for US citizens residing abroad. Ends double taxation issues, such as taxes on Social Security income. Encourages overseas banks to once again open accounts for Americans. Reduces the need to give up US citizenship for tax reasons.
The negatives: Would remove privileged tax status with many countries that have favorable bilateral tax agreements with the US. Would require the renegotiation of literally hundreds of US bilateral tax agreements.
I’ll be keeping an eye on this little piece of legislation!
