Leaving company and moving country, taxes and RSUs
Assume I'm in the US and the company I'm currently at is private and I've vested shares. Then I move to another country (Spain or Colombia, for example), do I have any tax responsibility to the new country when my now former private company goes public and I actually receive the shares?
Your question can not be answered in the hypothetical because it depends on just how greedy the legislators of that country are. E.g UAE - answer is no Mexico - answer is yes US - answer is yes (#ay[m]abtu)
Thanks! What's a good way to search for this? I've had a hard time Google'ing this for the specific countries.
It’s very easy to find the tax organization of English speaking countries. For other languages, I wouldn’t know where to begin. But always remember, when it comes to taxes, the devil literally lies in the FinePrint
If you do so, do you still have tax liability to US?
I'm no tax expert or anything. But I got some shares in a Japanese company once. Had to pay for currency conversion, income tax, and capital gains in Japan, even though Im in the US. I'd imagine for the most part the reverse is true, else it feels like one country stepping on the others toes.
is the Japanese company a phulic one?
Yes it was public.
