@gracepacifica: Record numbers of Americans are renouncing their US citizenship due to dual nationality, complicates tax compliance, political disillusionment, and desire for global mobility. The cost to renounce has just been dropped from $2350 to $450 USD, which will likely prompt more Americans to renounce. I'm a US citizen who hasn't lived in the US for 30 years and have been thinking about renouncing for years but just can't bring myself to do it yet... #americabexpat #usexpat #uscitizenship #uspassport #lifeabroad
Why would you have to pay to renounce? Thats crazy to me.

Why is everything about America designed to trap you into paying taxes without receiving even the basic benefits of every other developed nation on the planet. America is literally a huge reverse pyramid scheme.

US is one of TWO countries where the citizens still have to file and owe taxes on worldwide income. The other countrys worldwide income tax rate is only 2%

I’ve been out of the US 24 years and have not once filed my taxes or given them any info. When I became a dual UK citizen I changed my nationality with my banks.

This is something I heavily debate doing as well. I just wish America would change their tax rules to match literally every other country.

They didn’t lower it, the government was sued for increasing the cost and lost.

If you relinquish it instead of renouncing it you don't have to pay anything.

When I left the US, the IRS came after me, and I wasn't even an American citizen.

it's still expensive AND you'll also have to do an irs exit tax. it's insane, even people with permanent residency visas who've lived in the USA and paid taxes for 10+ years have to do as well or they have to continue to file their taxes even after they've renounced their visa.

This doesnt include exit tax on your assets. 450 is nothing

I lived in Thailand 20 years. Only returned to the U.S. once in that time. Now my family and I are living in the U.S. and I got my kids citizenship not long before returning. It's still good to keep all your options open.

As an America, Mexican, and Australian citizen, I’ve thought about renouncing my citizenship as well, but I frequently visit the US have family there.
