How much could you save by moving abroad?

US federal tax on worldwide income continues. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion shields earned income up to the annual cap and the Foreign Tax Credit offsets foreign tax paid, but income above the exclusion and all investment income stay US-taxable — plus self-employment tax unless a totalization agreement applies.

Become a non-resident by severing significant residential ties (home, spouse, dependants) and establishing residency abroad. A one-time departure tax applies: the CRA deems you to have sold most capital property at fair market value on your departure date.

Your UK tax position is decided by the Statutory Residence Test, not by your passport. Getting non-resident treatment means keeping UK ties and UK days below the SRT thresholds, and filing a P85 or self-assessment for the year you leave. Split-year treatment may apply.

Ceasing Australian tax residency triggers CGT event I1: you are deemed to have disposed of most non-taxable-Australian-property assets at market value, unless you elect to defer the gain until actual sale. Losing the main-residence exemption as a foreign resident is a common and expensive surprise.

Most countries tax residents, not citizens — so leaving usually ends the obligation once you genuinely break residency under local rules. Check for an exit or deemed-disposal tax, and for a treaty tie-breaker with your destination.
