More than 400 US citizens have registered for the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce Tax Seminar on March 10 for US citizens, including thousands of Greek Americans, who live in Greece.

Extra seminar
Hosted by: The American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce

The American School of Classical Studies (Cotsen Hall) | 61 Souidias Street, Kolonaki, Athens
Please join us for a free seminar by an expert on expatriate tax issues. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in the unique tax filing and bank report obligations of US citizens working or living abroad. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Topics to be covered include:
US citizenship taxation – every US citizen is subject to tax on his/her worldwide income regardless of the source of that income.
Important Note: Persons born in the United States are citizens automatically. US citizenship does not depend upon getting or having a US passport or social security number
· Use of the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) under I.R.C. Section 911 and of Foreign Tax Credits to reduce or eliminate US tax
· Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR) filing requirements for US citizens
· The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) filing requirements for individuals and foreign bank reporting of “US accounts”
· Tax return and FBAR filing compliance for delinquent US taxpayers; using the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures (SFOP) to avoid tax and FBAR penalties
Registration:
All attendees must RSVP no later than March 6th, 2015 to [email protected]
