I'm not an American citizen, so please go ahead and take my perceived American citizenship away - I'm happy to give it up. I hold dual citizenship but would expect not to pay taxes in nation B when I live and work in nation A. If I were to start working in B and stop working in A, I'd expect to pay tax in B as per B's tax laws, and cease paying taxes in A. If I earn an income in both, I expect to pay taxes on the portion of income in each nation, as per the tax laws of each nation. Similarly, because I live and work in A, I do not get the social services that B offers - for example, if I were to become unemployed, I'd expect to only utilise nation A's unemployment benefits. If I fall ill, I don't expect to be able to (and cannot) pin the cost on nation B's national healthcare services. The reason I don't choose to give up my dual citizenship is that I enjoy the ease-of-access to both nations, if and when I choose to move between them. That access does not cost the nation anything to retain. |
