Re: Lowdown on Tax Issues

Yes, I'll be in a similar situation with my wife also as she has little to no interest in the mechanics of the money so to speak!

Would you mind giving a quick rundown of how the mechanics work...

Re: Lowdown on Tax Issues

You seem as if you have a really good handle on the tax requirements, do you mind if I ask why you don't do the returns yourself? Is it something that one could (or should) do themselves, maybe have...

Re: Renunciation of US Citizenship & tax filing advice for Son

Would you mind expanding a bit of what barriers you've encountered in the UK as US citizens?

Re: Once a nomad..............

I don't have any advise but I'd be interested (and grateful) if you could expand a little about why your return to the UK was not successful one? Contemplating a return to the UK from the US in a few...

Re: Lowdown on Tax Issues

I believe the IRS will tax your SS depending on your total income.

Re: Pros and cons from your move from US back to UK

I would agree with this. I would say I feel safer in the US than I did back in the UK. Even living in the Chicago area that gets a lot of bad press (and rightly so) about the violence in parts of the...

Re: Probable stupid question re remote work for a UK organization while in the U

Did you by chance keep a US address on your Vanguard account. I just called them (as I've read a lot of conflicting data about being able to buy and sell whilst not living in the US) and they said I...

Re: Probable stupid question re remote work for a UK organization while in the U

Would you be so kind as to share the bank you were able to find that supported overseas customers? Good to know that Vanguard can be used as that is who I have my brokerage with. I was unaware that...

Re: Location, location, location.

Yes, I think a longer say in each is a great idea and definitely something we are considering.

Re: Location, location, location.

Thanks for the tip! The weather would certainly be a factor on the decision so it'll be great to compare each one (or others we consider).

Re: Hadrian And His Wall

Thanks for sharing! Funnily enough I've just started watching Time Team, never watched it when I lived in the UK and I'm really enjoying it (and enjoying reliving the fashions of the mid 1990's too)....

Re: Critique my British Budget!

Alright that just rained on my parade! I have a couple of preexisting conditions so I'll have to do a bit of research on whether it is available for me. I suppose I could get it for the wife and only...

Re: Critique my British Budget!

That seems like a great price, so how does it differ from the NHS care? Or is it just a 'jump the line' premium or do you literally see totally different doctors and in non NHS hospitals. This sounds...

So we're at the early stages of drawing up a bit of a list of destinations (or areas) that we'd like to evaluate to eventually settle if we return to the UK in a couple years time. Some back...

Re: NI pension catch up and non UKC widow benefit

It's still not that clear to me - from what I can see my wife (regardless of her not having paid any NI) will get a lump sum and some monthly payments for 18 months or so if I were to perish? Not big...

Re: Critique my British Budget!

Re: Critique my British Budget!

Yes, thanks. My plan was not to have any 'savings or investments' vehicles in the UK, just keep everything as it is in the US when (and if) we move over, then transfer spending money as needed over...
