Move Abroad for Your Retirement?

One great advantage to being American is that English is nowadays the lingua franca pretty much anywhere you go, and with 18.2% of Americans speaking Spanish as well, there are very few places Americans can’t go without being confident of their ability to communicate – although this is not to say that there is not rich reward to be enjoyed in learning to speak the native language of your expat retirement destination.

However, moving abroad is not a decision that is to be taken lightly. Not only should you thoroughly research your destination of choice, the type of visa you will require, the healthcare on offer and the expat community that exists there, you will also need to look into the full spectrum of expat wealth management considerations such as the pension and retirement planning vehicles, double taxation treaties with the United States and more. You will also have to consider reporting regulations in relation to your income – simply moving away from the US is not enough to negate your tax liability in the country.

Tax Treaties for Residency Status and Cross-Border Tax Planning

If you are living in the United States but are neither a US passport holder nor a green card holder, you will need to clarify your US taxation status.

In order to do this you will need to ask yourself several important questions including whether you can utilise any tax treaties.

Looking at tax treaties can help you determine your tax residency; to do this you will need to follow what is popularly known as Tie-Breaker Rules. However, it is important to understand that each tax treaty is different so your situation will depend on a close analysis of the provisions rather than any general piece of advice.
