Hello
Last day of February and this month has been dominated again by news about COVID. Several countries such as New Zealand (Auckland) and France (several areas) are going into lockdown, and many others worry about the impact of new COVID variants, spreading much faster and putting their medical system at risk. At the same time, other countries, more advanced in the vaccination process, are already communicating their plans to ease the restrictions: in the UK for example, June 21st should see all legal limits on social contacts to go.
In our magazine, we dedicated several articles to the coronavirus pandemic such as Can you be a digital nomad during the pandemic? and What protection of remote workers during the pandemic?
Another concern for many expats living in Europe has been the immediate effect of Brexit, as the UK has definitely separated from the European Union on January 1st. You will find more information on new rules for working in the UK, but also information on how pensions work after Brexit, and UK Pensioners in Europe post Brexit.

TaxSamaritan provides a FREE expat tax guide, explaining the requirements of the US tax system for those Americans living abroad. We have covered some of the issues created by the complicated tax system applicable to US expat (FATCA...etc) and you may also refer to our previous article detailing the nightmare created by the 2010 tax reform.
Is the new Biden administration going to reform the burden currently generated? We will see, but in the meantime, TaxSamaritan is helping with the process.
