Please consider contributing to Jenny’s cause. If you thought the US spying scandal broken by Mr Snowden was bad, this is the same concern. Maybe you want to open or maintain a bank account in future, whatever your nationality or country of residence? Then this issue concerns you

Under #FATCA, banks are required to send all of my personal and financial information, and that of all those like me, to US authorities on an annual basis. This breaches #GDPR & is a violation of my fundamental human rights to privacy & data protection. https://t.co/CoCw5SmvKo

FWIW, @gabriel_zucman - the price for #FATCA transparency and US extraterritorial overreach is hitting the European #tax base, as expected. Countries w/out a sovereign currency, such as France, will take a hit to their budget outlays.

@intlinvestment Summing up the problems w/ your article. 1) The 2nd & 3rd to last sentences appear false vs @USTreasury documents (see @CrossBriton post). 2) The alleged tax evasion is illegal w/out #FATCA so Fatca is unnecessary to use here. Conclusion: FBI PR failure, if you used FBI sources

It is your prerogative 2 disagree. But as scholars (if you purport 2 b such) is not your prerogative 2 ignore. Your failure 2 confront this material seriously detracts f/ the scholarship of ur work #fatca #M4A #citizenshiptax #americansabroad

During several years many #Americansabroad informed you of problems. U ignore + belittle their problems. How many must b affected 4 u 2 pay attention + acknowledge problems? Not rhetorical question: how many?

You cannot advocate 4 increased enforcement of taxation of people who do not live in US w/o also seeking 2 end obstacles they face + discriminatory practices by IRS in violation of Taxpayer Bill of Rights

Every single problem documented in NTA's 2015 report remains true today; IRS has not addressed a single problem. TIGTA report from 2015 documents additional problems

National Taxpayer Advocate has detailed these deficiencies in a multitude of reports, such as this one dating back to 2015

Yet nothing in your work addresses either very serious obstacles that #americansabroad face in completing US tax returns nor very serious deficiencies in IRS services to #overseastaxpayers.

Ur2019 confpaper strongly supports imposing US taxation on persons who do not live in US. @ewarren‘s proposal4 paying4 #M4all includes “strengthen reporting requirements 4 international income”

This doc explains lack of reciprocity (p22-23) details the negative effects of #FATCA on EU citizens (p23-25) + on US citizens abroad (p26-28) + explains how FATCA conflicts w/ #EUlaw (p29-37)
