Does an American expatriate working and living abroad pay local taxes ?
Answer:
It depends on two things: (1) whether the country has an agreement with the U.S. on double-taxation (that usually prevents double taxation); and (2) local tax laws. The question cannot be answered in the same way for all the countries. It really should be asked for a specific country.
Yes and no. I hope this helps.
It depends on where you're at.
You are still required to pay Uncle Sam and possibly your state of residence.
I pay foreign taxes on my residences.
I guess they pay tax in the country that they work and live in locally if that is what required,
I was an ex-pat living in the UK, therefore I paid UK taxes, not US. Any holdings I had in the US were subject to US taxes but because I didnt earn enough on interest, it didnt matter. I did have to pay home and car tax as these remained in the US. I worked for the UN in Kosovo, there, I didnt pay ANY tax. It was entirely tax free. Technically you should be taxed at source, ie if youre being paid in another country, they should tax you. If they are not doing this, then you are subject to their taxation law, not the US.
Hope this helps.
I assume you mean State Tax, you get to pay them if you still claim residency in a state. But you have to pay Federal taxes regardless.
yes.
