NT Tax Code & US Reporting Compliance (Across the Pond Podcast – Ep. 7)

Many US taxpayers who grew up in foreign tax systems, like in the UK, are unaware of some unique features to the US tax code.

For that reason, in Episode 07 of Across the Pond, we’re covering two important topics: NT Tax Code (a UK thing) and US Reporting Compliance (a very American thing) which are markedly separate considerations, but both have implications for British expats.

An NT tax code relates to UK tax withholding. US reporting compliance deals with correctly filing your tax returns in the US. If you assume that just because your pension/income/asset is in the UK then you don’t have to report it or pay tax on it in the US, then you are making a huge mistake and setting yourself up for much bigger problems down the line.
