How to Prepare for Tax Season as a U.S. Expat Living in the UK

For any U.S. expatriate, tax season can be overwhelming, and matters do not improve when the individual lives in the United Kingdom. Both the tax laws of the United States and the United Kingdom will need to be carefully navigated with a clear understanding of all the rules that may apply to your situation. When dealing with a single member LLC owned by a foreign individual or even one involving an LLC owned by a foreign corporation, here are the important steps you should take before tax season.

1. Be Aware of Your Tax Obligations

He files a U.S. tax return wherever he/ she might be staying and has to report all income earned from whatever sources.This will consequently include income from a single-member LLC when the owner is a foreign individual or an LLC owned by a foreign corporation. Knowledge of the U.S.-U.K. tax treaties helps one avoid paying taxes and obtain all other benefits from these treaties.

2. Gather Necessary Documents

Gather all the necessary documents at least weeks ahead of the tax filing deadline. The most significant ones are;

Income Statements: Gather all the W-2s and 1099s of your LLC, including all other statements showing any income source.

Foreign Bank Statements: If you have foreign accounts, you are obliged to report them via FBAR.

Accounting Records: Track all business-related expenditures within your LLC as often as they can be claimed.

3. Use the Exclusion of Foreign Earned Income

As a US expat income tax United Kingdom, you may qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion in IRS Form 2555. This will bring an exclusion of earning a certain portion of foreign earnings from your U.S. taxation. Do not forget to verify your eligibility and gather the necessary proof to support your claim.

4. Tax Deductions and Credits

Once you start looking at other forms of deductions and credits to lower your tax liability:

Business deductions: Expect legitimate business expenses that should reduce taxable income for a single-member LLC.

5. Keep Yourself Updated with the Requirements of the U.K. Taxes

In addition to your U.S. tax obligations, learn about U.K. tax laws. You may have a requirement for a U.K. tax return if you have income from an LLC owned by a foreign corporation or any other source. The U.K. has sets of income tax rules that may modify your overall tax approach.

6. Get Professional Advice

International tax laws are really complex. Thus it would be so advantageous if you could reach out to a tax professional who has knowledge of U.S. expat tax issues. He could lead you in efficiently filling out the paperwork concerning the taxes for a single-member LLC owned by a foreign individual or any LLC owned by a foreign corporation and enable you to meet all the requirements and maximize your possible tax benefits.

7. File on Time

Pay attention to the deadline. The deadline that most people know to file their U.S. tax return is on April 15, but as a U.S. expat, you may automatically qualify for June 15, although interest will begin to accrue on April 15 if you owe taxes. So make sure you make the appropriate filings before the deadlines.

Conclusion

Preparing as a U.S. expat in the U.K. for tax season actually involves understanding the taxes you are subjected to, gathering all the necessary documents and information, and identifying where you can use deductions or credits. Thus, with proper information updates, you would probably navigate the complexity if you seek professional help.

Did you know U.S. expats have to renounce citizenship to stop paying taxes? So if I moved out of the country on a work visa, I’d still pay taxes to the U.S.* for as long as I lived. That’s bonkers to me — and we should have WAY better public resources if all of our expats are still funding us. (Willfully ignoring you, enormous military force! I mean other resources, like education and social programs.)

I listened to a podcast recently all about feijoas and now I’m desperate to try one.

Work drama continues. HR has officially recommended my manager change my rating and several big wigs are now involved. I can’t believe how long it’s taking to resolve this.

My first content piece went to the PR agency yesterday. They always have edits, that’s part of the process — they went two rounds with the writer my nightmare manager loves (which he took like a cat being forced into a full bathtub) — but they loved my piece. ZERO edits. My work partner made sure to point that out to both the nightmare manager and the beloved writer (who treats me like this is my first job).

It would be nice to win them over, but at this point I’m just collecting a paper trail of accomplishments to present as evidence if the nightmare manager tries to give me another shitty review or get me fired. I’d love to leave and wash my hands of the whole thing, but I need to stay long enough for [redacted] to happen. So I have to make the best of it — while continuing to search for internal job openings.

Having plans in my calendar over the next several months to see NFA and my family — mostly in warm, sunny places — is doing wonders for my sanity.

*Eritrea and Myanmar also have this policy, and THAT’S IT. Every other country is like, “Bye! Enjoy not paying taxes on services you don’t use! Have a good life!”

I understand PH's need to prop up his Hero Harry image and get involved with military stuff in the US to stay relevant, because it may be one of the few thing he knows (aside from polo and his pretend expertise on mental health). What I don't understand is how the hell does this Hero Harry make him any money? Does he get paid by IG?

No, but IG pays for all of Harry's expenses when he travels to their events. I suspect BetterUp pays for a lot of Harry's expenses as well.

As with all things in life, "you have to spend money to make money." So Harry, Meghan, WME, Archewell, Invictus Games, etc. buy PR that sells them to other companies who'll hopefully hire them for their projects, sponsorship deals, lectures, galas, dinners. So the more PR the Sussexes buy, the better their chances at getting new marks or new corporate partners for new projects and paydays.

What I suspect is probably happening is that through a whole bunch of marketing research and testing, someone (WME? Harry's own people? Archewell?) discovered that Harry gets the most interest from potential corporate partners/brand deals when they use Hero Harry and Invictus Games for the PR than any other kind of brand association (e.g., ex-royal, Archie's Dad, Brit expat, etc.).

And as for other income sources propping up the Sussexes, I think they have some investments and sponsorships that are turning an ok profit and that's what they live on, supplemented by private money from Charles that probably pays their day-to-day living expenses via a trust of some sort and then whatever they can grift from Invictus Games, BetterUp, Clevr, and Soho House for their travel/vacations.

(I fully believe that the money from their 2020/2021 content deals have already been fully spent. I wouldn't be surprised if that money was gone within six months of landing in their bank accounts because of how spendy Meghan is.)

On the gossip side of things - via Lady C's latest vlog - the Sussexes make money through US tax loopholes that Meghan exploited when they set up Archewell. YMMV.

The “cultural Christianity” stuff is making the rounds again. And what I think a lot of people who object are missing about that designation is that you have to actually leave a culture to not be part of it anymore, and even then, it will still shape a lot of how you first react to things.

I’m American. I have spent, collectively, a grand total of four months (rounded up) outside the US. My parents were born here. My grandparents were born here. I am pretty definitively culturally American, for all that literally no one in my family identifies as “American” before they identify as “Jewish.”

I can say American culture sucks. There’s a lot about it (yes, I know there’s more than one. Yes, they can be quite different. Yes, there can be a great deal of tension between them. No, that doesn’t necessarily make that much difference from the outside. Yes, that is quite relevant to the extended metaphor I’m going for here) that does. What I can’t do is say I’m not actually a part of it. I’m a citizen. I’m surrounded by other Americans at pretty much all times. I’m not emigrating, I’m not making a point of immersing myself in specific local expat communities as a cultural immersion thing. I’m certainly not “from no country.” I definitely don’t have a more objective sense of American culture than someone who isn’t American and is living here reluctantly. I may have a more in-depth sense of it, but there’s no way they don’t have the basics down, because it is fucking everywhere, and they are constantly running into people who are trying to make them assimilate into it (further) in some sort of attempt to help them be normal. And they, unlike me, have a sense of what it looks like in comparison to something else.

Now. Let’s say I decide I hate America and everything it stands for and I don’t want to live here. But my family’s here, and I’ve got positive memories. I don’t have the money to go somewhere else. So rather than actually leave, I develop a deep fixation on another country. Maybe it’s based on a shallow understanding from stereotypes, maybe it’s a genuine respectful interest. But surrounding myself with a bunch of other Americans while we go on about... I dunno, how much we love England and tea does not erase how we’ve spent our whole lives being American, and it certainly doesn’t erase how we’re still living in America. Let’s say I take it a step further. Let’s say I actually emigrate somewhere. There’s two extremes. Either I fully immerse myself in my new country. I learn the language, I participate in the culture, I genuinely try to immerse myself. Or, I feel uncomfortable because things are weird and different and not quite what I’m used to, so I surround myself with a bunch of other American expats, and we spend all of our time talking about America. Maybe we talk about how much we hated it and how awesome we are for leaving it and how much it sucks and how everyone who’s there is terrible. Maybe we talk about the good things. But we’re still centering our existence around America.

But even in the first of those options, where I genuinely try to acculturate, there’s still going to be things that pop up for the rest of my life where those initial few decades of life in the US will shape my expectations. Maybe they’ll be small things “oh right, sales tax is listed on prices here.” Maybe they’ll be big things “excuse me, what just happened in parliament?” But I will always have that American lens with me. Even if I hate it. Even if I found it traumatizing. That’s not a moral judgement on me, it’s just how formative life experiences work. I can become not-American. I can’t become never-American. 

Cultural existence in a religious framework -any religious framework -works the same way, because religion both has and shapes culture. When I bitch about the omnipresence of cultural Christianity, I’m not calling anyone who is culturally Christian bad. I’m complaining about the pervasiveness of Christian hegemony. When I complain about culturally Christian atheists (which I only ever do in the context of specific behaviors by specific people), I’m not saying “these people are terrible and unredeemable,” I’m saying “there is a very clear pattern of people taking the step of saying they dislike Christianity but then trying to enforce Christian hegemony by claiming the parts they like are secular, thereby effectively coming across from an outside perspective as a continuation of the general attempt at forced Christianization.”

If you hated the Christian family you grew up with and everything about them and Christianity but like Christmas and want to celebrate it, that’s fine. Genuinely happy for you you’ve got something you enjoy! Have fun! Nog your eggs! Deck your halls! Call it Festivus and put up a pole instead of a tree! Do an anti-Christmas where you decorate with Halloween decorations in Santa costumes and celebrate with spooky stuff! But that doesn’t make it secular. It makes it you finding the one bright spot you had in darkness and hanging onto it. I sincerely respect that -it’s difficult to do. The thing is, I’m not in that darkness, and you trying to insist everyone have that light of yours comes across as yet another person shining the interrogation light of “why can’t you just be normal like me” in my face.

I don’t want Christmas. I want freedom from it. “Everyone can have Christmas” in response to “I don’t want Christmas” doesn’t come across as a friendly offer to share. It comes across as an aggressive attempt to force assimilation specifically on people who say they’re actively fighting it.
