Australia’s tax year runs July to June. The US runs on the calendar year. So even before you get to the rules themselves, the dates don’t line up, and that’s usually where the confusion starts.

Then there’s everything that feels routine in Australia but can look very different to the IRS: superannuation, ETFs, family trusts, and more. It’s easy to miss something when each country has its own way of treating the same thing.

Our free guide breaks it down in plain English, including who needs to file, how to avoid being taxed twice, which forms commonly come up, and the mistakes worth watching for. Download it, save it to your phone, and keep it handy for when tax season rolls around.

Yes. US citizens living abroad are generally subject to US federal estate tax on their worldwide assets, including property and investments located outside the United States.

But what actually counts as a “worldwide asset”? The list goes further than most expats expect, and the key factor isn’t where the asset is located.

Our free 52-page guide walks through it step by step, written by our US tax specialists who work with UK-based clients every day. It covers who needs to file, how to avoid being taxed twice, the forms that commonly come up, and the mistakes worth watching for.

How are US Social Security benefits taxed in the UK?

US Social Security benefits paid to someone who is a UK resident for treaty purposes are generally taxable only in the UK under the US-UK tax treaty. This treatment can apply even if the recipient is a US citizen.

This treatment comes from Article 17(3) of the US-UK tax treaty, which is an exception to the rule that normally allows the US to continue taxing its citizens.

Find out if this applies to your Social Security income 👇

US tax rules may include up to 85% of Social Security benefits in taxable income, depending on your income and filing status.
