FAQs
Use our simple 9 question survey and we will give you a clear idea of the investment for working with us.
The answer to this is quite simple in most cases it all depends on where you are physically located while performing the work.
Where you are working and living will generally have first taxing rights.
Meaning if you’re working in New Zealand the IRD may have first taxing rights on your income.
But there are always exceptions to the rule and the team at US Tax Pros in Auckland can help.
Although most US expats don’t need to pay any income tax to the US you are still required to file your tax returns each year with the IRS especially if you earn a wage.
You need to report your foreign earnings, foreign bank accounts, Kiwisaver growth and even other foreign assets if you have foreign financial assets above a certain threshold.
If you didn’t know about expat taxes previously, don’t worry, there are programs geared to help you get back on track. The streamlined tax filing procedures are a great way to catch up on your unfilled taxes in a penalty free way.
Expats who are employed by US employers, foreign employers, or are self-employed have to pay a certain percentage of their income as tax to the US government above a certain income threshold.
However, a lot of other factors like income level, types of investment, number of dependents, foreign property, and state tax affect the amount of tax you’ll pay.
See the 15-point guide to tax returns for expats to understand this better.
