Britons who left US as children being chased by their banks for a US tax ID they do not have

Tens of thousands of British citizens born in the US but who left when only a few months or years old risk having their bank accounts in Britain frozen – because of intense pressure by US tax authorities on UK banks.

Watch out Boris Johnson

This is absolutely bloody outrageous. Didn't the US rebel against Britain for exactly this sort of thing

FATCA IS ESSENTIALLY ALL ABOUT SATAN FORCING HIS SLAVE WIVES TO GIVE HIM MONEY, LONG AFTER THEY'VE BEEN INITIATED ON, RAPED, (UNWILLINGLY) IMPREGNATED AND THEN FIRED FROM MOODY POSITION. THE SINGLE MOTHERS PAY RANSOM TO NOT BE EXTRA TORTURED BY SATAN.

British citizens who were born in America (like me) are dual nationals - they have to file annual tax returns (for any foreign income above $12,000) & FBARs (if they have accounts outside the US with $10,000)

It seems like there's an easy solution. Just close the account!

Counties where people are forced to pay taxes regardless if they live/work there: Libya North Korea and United State

For big trade deal now read big tax bill.

In my opinion all they should do is complete form W8BEN and lodge it with their Bank, this shows they pay tax elsewhere and do not pay tax in the USA as they are not US citizens. This suffices for US Bank accounts so surely here. Can be filled in online.

In Spain it’s their houses taken. In Scotland it’s their nationality. Unsettling times.

'Those born before 1986 were never allocated a tax identification or social security number'. Not sure what may have changed in 1986, but there is no requirement in the USA to have a SSN if you don't work.

Tariffs are not making up difference of tax cuts, so they trying everything to generate revenue.

I'm American and have lived in the UK for 18 years. I have children born here and I worry about them having to file US taxes when they start earning. It's absurd to have this hanging over our heads and being told to file complicated tax returns to a country we don't reside in.

Al enemigo ni agua.

I expect this will be a priority for our PM

Boris Johnson then?

Declare this null and void let the banks foot the bill (they are loaded).

So they can't get Trump to open his tax records but they can chase ordinary folk across the Atlantic?

Does this include BoJo!? Hope so

Unbelievable...

FAKE NEWS

Would that include the PM?

Older people have more to teach us than Instagram 'influencers'Some young, or youngish, people love nothing more than a raging night out on the tiles - sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. They can teach us how to bankrupt the country and destroy the planet! My mother's generation, the post-war boomers, created the mess of a world we live in today. The old people you talk of, the generation before my mother's, were the one who could teach us something valuable. Unfortunately, there are not many of those people left. Yes they need treating with more respect in the UK.They have lived through tough times .
