For UK accountants, tax advisors, and US tax preparers, the world of US-UK international tax is a complex minefield filled with compliance traps, misunderstood treaties, and unexpected double-taxation risks. This video, produced by Optimise Accountants, provides expert insights for professionals navigating the challenging intersection of IRS 1040 filings, HMRC rules, and the US-UK Tax Treaty—especially for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and expats.
With over 9 million US citizens living abroad (IRS 2024 data) and 60% of UK residents lacking a will or estate plan (ONS 2023), cross-border taxation problems are rising rapidly. HMRC statistics reveal thousands of double-taxation disputes each year under the UK–US treaty, often triggered by foreign tax credits (FTC), Form 1116 complexities, or the Section 962 GILTI election for business owners.
Famous figures have not escaped this chaos. Meghan Markle faced global headlines when her US citizenship meant IRS scrutiny of her royal finances. Similarly, Boris Johnson reportedly paid US tax on the sale of his UK home despite being UK Prime Minister at the time—highlighting how even leaders fall into cross-border traps.
In this video, we break down the Top 10 US–UK tax problems affecting accountants and clients alike, from Form 8938 FATCA filings to inheritance tax mismatches. We then provide 8 actionable solutions—including treaty optimisation, tax-efficient structuring via Family Investment Companies (FICs), and IRS–HMRC coordinated planning—to protect your clients from unnecessary tax exposure.
Through real-world examples and before/after case studies, you’ll see how proactive planning turns costly tax pitfalls into opportunities for long-term wealth preservation. Whether you’re an ACCA accountant, ATT tax advisor, EA, or CPA, this content will help you deliver greater value to clients while minimising compliance risks.
Watch now to gain practical steps, legislative clarity, and expert strategies—all designed to help accountants and tax preparers stay ahead in 2025 and beyond.
