American Citizens Abroad is Raising Funds to Lobby for Tax Reform. Join our campaign today!

ACA Management Team up on Capitol Hill meeting with Congress and the Administration

 

Why now is the time to reform tax policy for US citizens abroad

  1. There is Presidential support for ending double taxation of U.S. citizens overseas. 
  2. Congress needs to pass tax legislation this year due to the expiring provisions on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).
  3. Congressman LaHood’s Residence Based Taxation for Americans Abroad (RBT) legislation is the basis for change and will be reintroduced this year.
  4. There is awareness in Congress, legislation that addresses tax policy issues has been introduced annually into Congress since 2017.

Why support American Citizens Abroad (ACA) for tax reform

Our Strengths
  1. ACA is headquartered in Washington, DC
  2. ACA is a registered lobbyist via our ACA-PAC
  3. ACA and its staff are known to Congress and the Administration 
  4. ACA has worldwide membership, bringing their concerns to the forefront of Congress and the Administration. 

Our Resources

  1. ACA has built the economic model for RBT legislation and has conducted research to establish the impact of RBT on the federal budget. 
  2. ACA has published the technical explanations of previous legislation and of the Residence Based Taxation for Americans Abroad Act.
  3. ACA’s professional drafted documentation is referenced in Congressional and Administrative offices (US Treasury, Joint Committee on Taxation, etc.).
  4. ACA’s website with a wealth of professional information on the taxation issues for US citizens abroad is regularly referenced by Congress, citizens and stakeholders.
Our Strategy
  1. ACA staff is meeting with offices in person - write-in campaigns, letters to representatives help but nothing beats real people advocating for change. 
  2. ACA is regularly quoted in the media and is running op-eds on the merits of RBT for citizens and businesses.
  3. ACA has access to and working with tax policy stakeholders in Washington, DC. 
  4. ACA modeling demonstrates how to minimize or eliminate any costs/ make revenue neutral.
