High profile case in favour of non-resident tax relief?
« on: April 15, 2019, 08:30:21 AM »
Feel free to move this to news if needed, but it is about the global taxation of non-resident Americans, so I thought I'd make sure people in this section saw it.

It's not new information (and not entirely thorough/accurate information, as generally happens in the news).  It's just a very high profile example of the ridiculous burden the US places on its non-resident citizens (that's us!).
9/1/2013 - "fiancée" (marriage) visa issued
4/6/2013 - married (certificate issued same-day)
5/6/2013 - FLR(M)#1 in person -- approved!
8/1/2016 - FLR(M)#2 by post -- approved!
8/5/2018 - ILR in person -- approved!
22/11/2018 - Citizenship (online, with NDRS+JCAP) -- approved!
14/12/2018 - I became a British citizen.  :)

Other very recent articles from the US media:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/us/royal-baby-harry-meghan-markle-citizenship.html

Slightly more accurate information from CNN; perhaps they paid more attention to the knowledge imparted from their named contact? Hmmm......wonder where we've seen comments from that individual before.

Wait till Woody Johnson starts crowing about how excited he is to have an American in line for the throne. With Brexit and the need for trade deals, both Whitehall and the royal family will be reluctant to comment (not that they ever would). I don't think we've heard the last of this in the UK media.
