1 of 2 Countries in the World!  

The United States has the ignominious distinction of being one of only two countries in the world (along with Eritrea) that implements citizenship-based worldwide individual taxation.

For U.S. citizens (and Green Card holders) living and working within the United States, the impact is relatively low as their earned income is not being taxed by foreign countries. However, for U.S. citizens living and working abroad, the citizenship-based taxation creates a compliance burden, potential for double taxation, and a potentially smaller cost savings while working in no- or low-tax countries.

In the context of global mobility, U.S. citizens are a notorious demographic that requires additional consideration and attention due to the unique and burdensome U.S. tax system (which includes reporting requirements of foreign bank accounts and assets).

As frequent business travelers and short-term assignments gain popularity, and as governments pursue additional tax revenue, home country tax residency has become a larger issue for global mobility professionals.
