Background:

 

On September 17, 2019 the French Legislature issued a report about its "fact finding mission" relating to the "Universal Tax" AKA citizenship taxation. I recommend the report to all.

I thank Ryan Herche for forwarding the report to me and agreeing to participate in this podcast. The report  is a good discussion of:

A. The concern that French tax residents may be moving from France to lower their tax bills

B. Various ways to combat this "freedom of movement"

C. A consideration of whether U.S. citizenship based taxation is an appropriate way to keep people from severing tax residency with France.

Again, I urge you to read the report. If anyone wants to connect directly with Mr. Herche you are free to email him here: rherche22@gmail.com
