Can a foreign pension plan be a tax treaty?
While the United States generally taxes its residents on their worldwide income regardless of their citizenship or the source of the income, an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party could modify the usual rules and mitigate some of the disadvantages of participating in a foreign pension plan.
Is pension income taxed in the UK or the USA?
And this is contrary to the tax agreement between the UK and the USA, which states pension income is to be taxed in one State only, and in the case of lump sum payments it is the USA. Is this correct? Am I due a tax refund? Thank you.
