You’d also have to pay exit taxes on any assets you’re bringing with you when you go, I think. I think financially the costs of renouncing far outweigh the benefits, most people who emigrate to live in other countries never renounce their citizenship.

Yep. If I lived in another country I'd want to keep my passport just in case for a lot of reasons. It would be so cool to be able to tell Uncle Sam to fuck off though.

What a weird way to run things. I renounced my Japanese citizenship because the Japanese Foreign Ministry was harrassing my mum about it, and we did have to go to the consulate and fill out a frankly miniscule amount of paperwork and pay no money.

all your assets. not just the ones you take with you

The US Exit Tax, or Expatriation Tax, is levied on individuals renouncing their US citizenship or green card. Governed by IRC Section 877A, this tax is specifically designed for high-net-worth individuals. It ensures that their worldwide income and assets are taxed prior to exiting the US tax system.

EDIT: the statute is at https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/877A

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
