Is the US going to tax me too?????
« on: July 24, 2004, 11:58:05 AM »
Okay, is this the case.....

As a US citizen working in the UK I will pay standard UK taxes AND if I make the equivalent of $80,000 then the US will tax me too?  If this is the case, then how much will the US tax me? 

This will be good info to know when I negotiate my salary here.

Thanks.

Hey SLB,

Email Helen directly.  She is very reliable and will respond quickly.  I actually spoke to her directly about my tax questions when it comes to working in the UK and making sure I fullfill my tax obligations as a responsible U.S. citizen.  (Don't want to do anything to anger Uncle Sam since we don't plan on living here forever.)  ;D

You will still need to file a US return and report your income. $80,000 of your foreign source income will be excluded from US taxation though. So, if you income is $80,000 or less, you will not have a US tax liability.
