Ah dej nehi no... Vsako leto se vse več američanov seli v Slovenijo. A jih ni že preveč?! Azijce in arabce ki se preselijo v Slovenijo prezirajo na vseh koncih ampak američani so pa OK? V čem je razlika? Vsi smo samo ljudje. Američani slišijo in vidijo kak raj je Slovenija v primerjavi z njihovo nazadnjaško ameriko in se priseljujejo sem, kot so se po 2. sv. vojni Slovenci selili v ameriko.
I actaully do not feel tax filing is demanding here in Slovenia. If you have a regular job everything is done automatically and you get only a paper from the FURS (IRS) to see if everything is okay. If you have other incomes like rents you just fill the form online till end of february for the previous year. If you have a small business you do have a few options to pay taxes.
The US is the one of the only countries that taxes you on citizenship, not residency. I know a number of people who are tired of paying taxes to a country to which they will never return. They are opting instead to give up US citizenship. They can still visit whenever they want, so why pay for a government that does nothing for you. (The fees to renounce citizenship keep rising as it has become much more common.)
I thik US is not the only country doing that. Also in the EU, or more specifically in Slovenia there is something called "fiscal residency". Even when you leave the country you are still obliged to do your taxes, or at least as a fiscal report. Only with much buroecratic effort and many, many years of struggles you are not obliged anymore to do so. To change your fiscal residency, belive me, in some cases it is so complex that it would be easier to give up the citizenship completely, than going trough that process.
It’s true. It’s so ridiculously complicated. Very few countries make you report your income made outside of the country when you’re no longer a resident.
I moved from Slovenia to the US and had no issues with FURS and fiscal residency, I simply sent a few documents that prove my center of interests is now in the United States and I no longer pay taxes. It took 2 emails and 1 form from the IRS. Married to a US citizen, it might be more complex if you came on a different visa.
@@lordofwarcrag Great to hear this! There is still some hope than. As far as I know from other fellow Slovenians it isn't always so easy. Specially for those living and working in Austria (different work taxation rates) or in the UK... The problem is that as far as you still have the citidenship of Slovenia you have to report annually to FURS about your income and the exceptions (fiscal residency, etc.) Prove and reprove time and time again all those things and you are never 100% sure that in a few years you won't get some "forgoten taxes" to pay for the past. Not to talk about the pensions. Ask people who get a percantage of pension from another country (for example if they lived and worked for some years in another country) they get taxed and the pension that you earned in Slovenia gets reduced....you get "maluses" in every possible way. I know many people from the border area with Italy (Primorska) who have also pensions from Italy and it is a buroecratic nightmare time and time again.
@@nevaf.s.5358 maybe it’s different if you work within the EU, I still have Slovenian citizenship but don’t have to report my earnings or pay taxes. I agree Slovenian (or european) bureaucracy can be a nightmare, maybe I was just lucky to get through the process fast and smooth
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING... If you live outside of the US, Don't have a job in the US, then you don't have to pay US taxes? I wished you would of explained why you still have to pay taxes even though you haven't lived in California, USA in many many years? Can Customs stop you from entering the US, if you ever decided to visit or move back to the US?
Croatian Taxes are rather easy....they either send you a bill if you are due for something or missed something or they send you a information that you can expect tax return on your account number. And that's the end of it.
Many years ago I skipped doing taxes 3 years … when I finally fixed it and asked the accountant I used .. what will the fine be … he said nothing .. they owe you money .. so it’s like you let them use it for 3 years
For US citizens, join the rich. They pay no taxes, and have the best accountants money can buy. There is no law that mandates you do it. Tax on income was always voluntary, yet government enforces it through "voluntary compliance". Some of you can argue this to no end. I encourage you to do your own research.
I still fail to understand why you're having to file in both countries? Do you have duel citizenship? I thought you were just going back to Cali for visits...
Hi there! US citizens are obligated to file their US taxes even while living abroad, if they meet the thresholds due to the citizenship based tax system.
Hey, mother of 4, you look just marvelous. Wow!
Hey Mariah, you're lookin' good!👍❤️

That’s the annoying thing: the US is using their citizens’ money as a loan without any APR.

Do you pay taxes in Slovenia?
Who is that stunning woman in this video?
Who is she, right!?🤔🤔🤔

@@MyExpatTaxes Oh man that sucks!
Thankfully, most US expats won't end up owing, though 😉@@LoveAuntAshley
