AMSTERDAM, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 2020 was a record year for Americans
giving up their citizenship, according to the experts and tax specialists
of Americans Overseas.
A record 6,705 Americans gave up their citizenship in 2020
A 260% increase from 2019 when 2,577 Americans gave up their citizenship
Renunciations triple despite U.S. consulates being closed for large parts of
the year due to COVID-19
This is the highest year on record; the previous record was 5,411 cases in
2016
US Americans Giving Up Citizenship, 2020 highest year on record.
There are an estimated 9 million U.S. Americans living overseas. Every three
months the U.S. Government publishes the names of all Americans under the
IRS rules (section 6039g), who give up their citizenship. 2020 saw 6,705
Americans renounce their citizenship, 260% more than 2019 when 2,577
Americans renounced. This number possibly would have been higher if U.S.
Embassies worldwide had not been closed for large parts of the year due to
COVID-19 regulations. If this trend continues 2021 renunciation numbers will
be record-breaking.
Surprisingly enough, it's not only politics that drive renunciations but
also a law called Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). This law
forces banks outside the U.S. to report all American account holders under
threat of astronomical fines. Banks now want to rid themselves of U.S.
clients as they pose a liability. Many Americans living outside the U.S. are
therefore forced to renounce and provide a Certificate of Loss of
Nationality (CLN) to keep their banking services.
U.S. citizens that renounce must pay a $2,350 government fee and appear in
person at the U.S. Embassy in their country of residence. In addition, a
complete tax return must be filed and exit tax might be owed. Despite these
obligations, there has been a growing trend of U.S. citizens renouncing.
"A law intended to catch tax evaders inside the U.S. is now dragging
innocent Americans living outside the U.S. down. Lobbying efforts by the EU
have so far not led to any change in policy by the U.S.," says Daan
Durlacher, partner at Americans Overseas.
"The onerous and costly tax reporting obligations also play a big role.
People with a U.S. citizenship or Greencard must file their taxes regardless
of where they live in the world every year. They also need to report every
single bank account (FBAR), even if they are only authorized to sign, which
feels intrusive for many."
Ironically, the U.S. stimulus checks of $1,200 + $600 are also being used
towards the cost of renouncing - a difficult, irreversible decision with a
profound impact on an individual's life, especially in these difficult,
special times.
Americans Overseas spoke to U.S. citizens worldwide who are looking to
renounce their citizenship, and expects a huge increase again when the U.S.
embassies open up again full time. | W***n
