Either way your company should have informed you this was going to happen to anyone working outside the U.S. Mike

I wish they would have informed me I wouldnt have taken the job then. What is strange is that in 2012 i didnt get taxed from the other country but for 2013 i am. I am heading back in a week or so. Talking with the accountant, lawyer, the company representative.

Also other workers who were there before didnt get double taxed either. I know they will do a tax equalization. That still screws me though. basically fancy talk for instead of getting charged double taxes we are gonna only hit you with 150%

Funny how the Taxman doth smite across the globe .... not just the USA .... sorry for the BS, man, but your attitude here says you'll ride the wave and be fine down the road. Sorry it happened. I hope at least the "other country" wasn't a bad place to spend some time in ... maybe consolation for the s******g you might be getting.

Best of luck - keep us posted.
