Tenacious paws of the motherland are not so easy to let go. If paying taxes in the United States is becoming prohibitive, than even for renunciation of citizenship, and of course, of the tax residence – you shall pay!
Apparently, the flow of migration across the border the United States begins to change its direction. Not the poorest taxpayers are leaving.
Where are they going? To places, where taxes are not so high and where it is still possible to pay tax on a territorial basis.
Such places are Hong Kong, Singapore, Cyprus, some European jurisdictions, and of course - all offshore jurisdictions.
