If you think you can just renounce US citizenship and cease to be a citizen of the Land of the Free, you are wrong.

The United States imposes burdensome and punitive tax and reporting requirements on American citizens living outside the country. These requirements include citizenship-based taxation, FBAR, FATCA, PFIC and now the transition tax and GILTI. In fact, the regulatory weight of the whole far exceeds the sum of the individual parts.

Americans abroad are constantly told to just renounce their US citizenship. However, it's not as easy as that since the US imposes more punitive exit taxes than any other country in the world on those who renounce their citizenship.

Our event took place on Thursday, December 6th at 1:00 pm GMT.

In this webinar, our expert explained the mechanics of the Exit Tax and covered the following questions:

• Which people renouncing their US citizenship are subject to the Exit Tax?
• What exactly is a "covered expatriate" and how can you avoid becoming one?
• Is the Exit Tax really a collection of four separate taxes? How do these separate taxes work?
• Why is the Exit Tax particularly confiscatory when applied to non-US pensions?
• What are the exact requirements that must be met in order for those renouncing US citizenship to effectively log out of the US tax system?
• How does the US punish future beneficiaries if they receive gifts or bequests from people renouncing their US citizenship?
• And plenty more!
