The Paris-based Association of Accidental Americans (Association des Américains Accidentels) is calling on its members and other accidental Americans – as well as other U.S. expats frustrated by the United States' citizenship-based tax regime – to join its campaign in support of efforts (by others) who are understood to be planning to launch a legal challenge against CBT, within the next few months.

A little over one month into the new year, a global challenge to the United States' citizenship-based tax regime is emerging on several fronts, as awareness continues to grow of the tax regime's major role in the many problems U.S. expats and so-called accidental Americans continue to struggle with.

If you were thinking of planning a protest by expatriate Americans against the U.S. system of citizenship-based taxation, it's difficult to think of a better day to do it than the date when expatriate American expats are obliged to file their U.S. tax returns by – which is to say, June 15 (two months after U.S. taxpayers' taxes are due). 

The Democrats Abroad's Taxation Task Force today is unveiling a damning report on what life is like, from a financial and tax perspective, for the millions of American citizens who live overseas.

As growing numbers of expatriate Americans are calling on U.S. lawmakers to replace America's problematic citizenship-based tax regime with a system that's based on a taxpayer's current country of residence, the Washington, DC-based American Citizens Abroad is urging expats, members of Congress and others to revisit its most-recent research report – which ACA officials say has some of the best data anywhere on the subject. 

John Richardson, the Toronto-based citizenship lawyer and American expat rights campaigner, will be the featured guest tomorrow on a weekly FAIRtax Guys "show" that airs every Tuesday at 8pm EST on Facebook; Rumble.com; and – in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia or New Zealand only – on iHeart.com.

A major – and eagerly awaited by many – economic analysis of how the U.S. might most easily and efficiently move to a residence-based tax regime, crowd-funded and organized by the American Citizens Abroad, has found that such a move could be done "without the U.S. Treasury losing revenue".

Don Beyer, a U.S. Democratic congressman who represents a Virginia constituency, has introduced legislation he says is aimed at making life significantly easier for American expatriates, by making it easier for them to comply with their U.S. tax obligations. 

The Democrats Abroad has announced that it has joined the Residence-Based Taxation Coalition, a lobbying organization launched in January with a single goal: persuading U.S. lawmakers to move the U.S. to a residence-based tax regime, like most of the rest of the world's countries have.
