California wants to tax people for the crime of leaving

The UK finance minister’s reported plan to impose a 20% ‘exit tax’ on the business assets of wealthy individuals leaving the UK would be “reckless and self-defeating,” warns Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group

@quixoticgeek @ChrisMayLA6 It has been reported that around 30 of Norway's richest left by The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/10/super-rich-abandoning-norway-at-record-rate-as-wealth-tax-rises-slightly
And another source that claims 80 people (uncited): https://www.brusselsreport.eu/2024/09/11/the-failure-of-norways-wealth-tax-hike-as-a-warning-signal/
But since people started fleeing, there has been an "exit tax" put in place, so I'm not sure whether that is factored into the reported losses: https://www.lifeinnorway.net/exit-tax-changes/
@Npars01 @mcnado Eeyupp - this is even worse than the pre-Nazi legislation, as the #USA's #ExitTax assumes ALL possessions (from scooter to house and from savings account to portfolio and private pension plan) are being sold off "at market value" right now, and will refuse to complete the #denaturalization until it's completely made up number is being paid off (including any losses, gains and interest incured in the meantime!), not just any assets held within the #US or possessions on U.S. soil (i.e. shares of corporations or property titles)…
IOW: Until denaturalized, U.S. citizens are literally indentured servants to the U.S. government even if they never consented to and/or explicitly widthdrew consent to it.

And if he just handed it in whilst he was there and some Secretary of whatever accepted it, that does not mean that one must not file with the IRS.
It is very complicated:

Johnson citizenship renounciation
A little known fact about renouncing American Citizenship is the exit tax.
This article provides the necessary background.

So the questions are was Johnson a covered expat, did he submit the
necessary forms and pay any required tax?
The #USA also #taxes it's #citizens if they are living outside it's territories with no access to anything but consular aid, and not only basically use #DebtPeonage with an absurd #RenounciationFee as a form of bondage of #citizenship, literally having an #ExitTax as if they sold-off all property they own and even demanding future taxes in advance.
