SEAT Working Paper Series #2023/7
Extraterritorial Taxation #7: Inherently Suspect

SEAT Working Paper Series #2023/8
Extraterritorial Taxation #8: More Violations of Equal Protection
The U.S. extraterritorial tax system violates 14th Amendment equal protection not only because it is inherently suspect (as examined in Extraterritorial Taxation #7), but also because it creates a second class of citizens and is founded and perpetuated in animus.

SEAT Working Paper Series #2023/12
Extraterritorial Taxation #12: It’s Not About Paying Taxes
Objections to the U.S. extraterritorial tax system are not about paying taxes – most owe no U.S. tax – but about a highly complex and penalizing system that prevents overseas Americans from living normal lives and subjects them to high levels of risk and stress.
