Expatriate taxation is a very complicated area. By definition, the laws of at least two countries will be involved. Also, the circumstances of individuals varies. The result is that no guide like this can ever guarantee to be comprehensive or accurate in every individual case.

I hope that, when this section is complete, it will answer a lot of questions and put you in a good position to understand how the tax laws may affect your own circumstances.

However, I stress that you must take professional advice on your own circumstances or you will run the risk of a nasty surprise.
