Ep 66: Before You Expatriate, Understand The Exit Tax

This conversation delves into the complexities of the exit tax that individuals may face when expatriating from the U.S.

The decision to expatriate is not one to be taken easily. We discuss who is liable for the exit tax, how it is calculated, and the ongoing tax obligations that may persist even after leaving the country.

We also explore various planning considerations to mitigate the impact of the exit tax, emphasizing the importance of careful planning and timing in the expatriation process.


Key Takeaways

  • An exit tax is imposed when one expatriates from the U.S.

  • Covered expatriates must meet specific criteria to be liable for the exit tax.
