Our mission is to ensure tax and financial fairness for Americans abroad by ending Citizenship-Based Taxation.
TFFAA welcomes Rep. LaHood’s historic RBT bill: Residence-Based Taxation for Americans Abroad Act
Who supports us — Americans abroad
What we want
Millions of Americans abroad are already subject to taxation where they live. They shouldn’t also have to declare non-U.S. income or face discrimination for basic banking and financial services and unfair and disproportionate penalties for maintaining bank accounts in the countries where they live just because they choose to live abroad.
Help us end Citizenship-Based Taxation and all the financial discrimination, high costs and hassles it imposes on Americans living abroad!

Why join the fight?
Double Taxation: One of our main concerns is the potential for discriminatory double taxation. Under Citizenship-Based Taxation (CBT), individuals may be subject to taxation on their worldwide income in both their country of residence and in the United States. This discourages international mobility and can lead to a significant financial burden.
Complexity and Discrimination: CBT can be highly complex and burdensome for Americans living abroad. It requires them to navigate both the U.S. tax code and that of the country where they live. That often means higher compliance costs. Moreover, many foreign financial institutions actively discriminate against Americans, denying them basic banking and financial services, because of uniquely American compliance requirements.
