<p>August 4, 2022 - Participants Include:</p> <p> </p> <p>Ryan Herche - US/France dual citizen in living in Texas (<a href='mailto:rherche22@gmail.com'>rherche22@gmail.com</a>)</p> <p>John Richardson - <a href='https://www.twitter.com/expatriationlaw'>@Expatriationlaw</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Background:</p> <p> </p> <p>On September 17, 2029 the French Legislature issued a report about its "fact finding mission" relating to the "Universal Tax" AKA citizenship taxation. I recommend the report to all.</p> <p><a href='https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/opendata/RINFANR5L15B2246.html#_Toc256000003'>https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/opendata/RINFANR5L15B2246.html#_Toc256000003</a></p> <p>I thank Ryan Herche for forwarding the report to me and agreeing to participate in this podcast. The report  is a good discussion of:</p> <p>A. The concern that French tax residents may be moving from France to lower their tax bills</p> <p>B. Various ways to combat this "freedom of movement"</p> <p>C. A consideration of whether U.S. citizenship based taxation is an appropriate way to keep people from severing tax residency with France.</p> <p>Again, I urge you to read the report.
