“This book should be a Bible for any ex-pat. The challenge of leaving everything you are familiar with to find freedom is challenging enough without worrying if you're going to be extradited for tax issues. I have already demanded that a few of my international clients buy this and recommend you do as well.”

“I have read some other books in this field. As an entrepreneur, I am always looking for ways to save money on my taxes. Unlike other books that talk at a high level, this book really drills down to facts and gives actionable advice and tips. I already started by Self Directed IRA and did a conversion of my company. It was realty helpful, they explained in layman's terms, and it was easy to understand and implement. Great book for people looking to save money! Highly recommend!”

“John and Vincenzo hit the nail on the head here. So much great info that most US expats living abroad have no idea about that can same them money on taxes. This book should be mandatory ready on your flight out of the US. Or if more US people read it, they may considering leaving the US because of all the benefits. Well done guys.”

“I would recommend this book to all Americans who find themselves working abroad and dreading the prospect of having to navigate filing their taxes. Vincenzo is cogent, concise, and thorough about a topic notoriously obtuse and complex. This is a very useful point of reference for the nomadic businessperson or traditional expat.”

— Vernon Beckford

“This is a book that I wish I had been given twelve years ago when I moved overseas. It would have saved me thousands of dollars in taxes and ensured reporting compliance with the IRS. It's a must read for any American expat who needs to know how to remain compliant with the IRS while also taking advantage of ways to save tax.”

— Tyler E Schooley

“Having now lived abroad for 6 years and counting, with businesses registered in the U.S. and Colombia, I can attest firsthand that navigating the gauntlet of international tax issues is no easy task. Infinitely grateful for this guide, which is making my life just a little bit easier. It's an excellent resource to avoid the many pitfalls and minimize one's tax burden, all while ensuring full legal compliance with current corporate, accounting, and tax regulations.”
