Re: FBAR and $10.000

Oh sorry - was being dumb and didn't think it through. To reiterate:

You could have $50k income come in throughout the year, but as long as there was never a combined sum of $10k at one time in...

Re: FBAR and $10.000

Private pensions only though, right?

Re: FBAR and $10.000

Sum of all accounts you mean?

I think I remember reading once that if you had $9990 in one account and $20 on an oyster card, you would have to file.

FBAR and $10.000

Hey all, quick question surrounding FBAR as one of my UK coworkers was asking, and I want to make sure what I said is accurate.

Re: Student Loans - Global taxation?

Makes sense! Not sure why I thought I'd have to do self assessment taxes as this is not income.

Re: Student Loans - Global taxation?

I have been asking that for years! Most tell me I can't. It seems to be in the wording of "qualified"



I don't see a reason why I would have to file UK self assessment tax forms still

Thanks! Yeah, I did take a look around there (plus finding out I only have 7 months of payments left!) and couldn't find the word "tax" anywhere.

Student Loans - Global taxation?

Hey all!

I was just discussing the complexities of global taxation with my US friend. I was claiming that the UK bases tax off of residency and they claimed to refute that based on student loans....

Re: Family emergency travel: 2 passports, 2 names

Thanks everyone for their thoughtful responses.

I always thought it was illegal to enter the UK as a UK citizen without showing your UK passport? Misrepresenting yourself or something?

Re: Green Card to Citizenship....any downsides??

Wait - so the UK is gonna introduce something like FACTA?

Would it be for tax residents (like current UK taxes) or citizens (like the US)?

Re: closing US bank account - good idea?

I assume you closed as many non US accounts as you could so you didn't have to keep track when listing them on the FBAR?

I kept my UK HSBC current account when moving here and it currently has a...

Re: Am I still a UK Resident (for tax purposes)?

It's worth checking out the SRT, because if you are not a UK resident, then there is no need to pay UK taxes unless it's UK sourced as far as I know. I don't think anyone here who is a UK citizen but...
