"Join John Richardson from Toronto, Canada, as he continues his insightful discussion with Tim Symth from Boston. In this episode, they delve into the complexities faced by U.S. retirees living abroad and the potential impacts for "retirees abroad" of transitioning from a citizenship-based tax system to a residency-based taxation system.

John and Tim clarify the definition of a "retiree abroad" and explore the tax obligations these individuals face under the current U.S. citizenship-based taxation system. They discuss the fears and concerns associated with a shift to residency-based taxation, particularly drawing comparisons with the Canadian tax model.

The conversation highlights how U.S. retirees abroad, who primarily have U.S. source income, navigate their tax responsibilities and why they may not be motivated to support a change to residency-based taxation. Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the tax implications for U.S. citizens retiring overseas and the broader debate on taxation systems."
