Overview of Webinar
Are you an American living in the UK and wondering about the investment options available to you?
Due to various tax and regulatory complexities, it’s vital for Americans living in the UK to gain an understanding of what investment opportunities they can access, and which might be right for them.
Because of certain rules and regulations, Americans will have limited access to US-based investment platforms, therefore exploring alternative options is essential for portfolio diversification and effective retirement planning.
What’s more, Americans are subject to US tax on worldwide income, including investment gains, which means navigating double taxation, avoiding punitive tax treatment on certain investments and complying with all relevant laws is crucial.
At this webinar, we’ll be joined by experts from our partners at Tanager Wealth and Tax Advisory Partnership, who will share an overview of both the various investment options and opportunities available to Americans living in the UK as well as the key tax implications that you need to be aware of when choosing any of these options.
After we’ve heard from each of our experts, you’ll have the chance to ask your own questions in an interactive Q&A.
Investment options available for Americans living in the UK
Investment options for Americans living in the UK are extremely limited, especially for anybody who has less than $1m to invest. This is due to the complications including tax and the global disclosure requirements of the IRS. In this webinar we will look into why this is the case and present a number of options available for Americans, even if they have under $1m to invest.
US and UK tax considerations
Taxation can be complicated when you’re evaluating investment options as a US expat, with obligations to meet in both countries. We’ll outline how to prevent double taxation on your investments and outline your tax responsibilities in both countries to ensure you stay compliant and avoid penalties.
