Thanks. Do you have any information about the Pakistani citizenship situation? If I declare my nationality as Pakistani while working in Dubai, I would presumably fall under the home country tax laws, which would be Pakistan. I wouldn’t mind filing taxes for Pakistan.
Despite being based out of the US, i am exempt from income taxes due to the tax treaty with Switzerland, which is under negotiation this year. I’m more than happy to pay Swiss taxes because I fall under the “Swiss abroad” category which caps the income tax amount and is much more reasonable.
I’m sorry but the US tax codes seem ludicrous when compared to the European standards, even the UK income tax situation seems better. I mean most of my American friends and associates in Dubai would easily break that $80K threshold on base alone. Also under the current administration, I would imagine that the tax rate of bonuses and other extra compensation will only increase. What a bad deal!
The plot thickens…
