U.S. Tax Seminar: The impact of Repatriation & GILTI taxes on Americans in Germany

9:30 - 12:00) Eden Hotel Wolff, Arnulfstrausse 4, Munich

Tax Briefing for tax professionals and US Citizens Living in Germany: The 2017 US tax reform created two new taxes: the Repatriation and GILTI taxes. Although intended for US multinationals like Google and Apple, these taxes have a severe impact on American citizens and Greencard holders who are professionals or business owners living in Germany. Mr. Silver has initiated a global tax advocacy effort to exempt expats from these taxes. To learn more about and support it, see the Democrats Abroad page for more information: taxes.  https://www.democratsabroad.org/letter_campaign_repatriation_gilti_taxes
