BASED ON REAL CASES WE’VE HANDLED ACROSS THE NETHERLANDS

Why Americans in the Netherlands are ditching their US citizenship

The US taxes worldwide income, forcing Americans in the Netherlands to file returns in both countries every year.
The US Department of State has reduced the US embassy renunciation cost to US$450, effective April 13, 2026.
Ongoing compliance costs add up quickly, especially when you need specialists familiar with both the Dutch and US tax systems.
Accessing Dutch pension products becomes nearly impossible, as banks require full IRS compliance before allowing US citizens to arrange supplementary pension plans.
Many Dutch financial products, including standard investments, are simply off-limits to US citizens because few Dutch institutions are willing to apply US financial law to them.
Being an accidental American. For many, that alone is reason enough to renounce.
Renouncing is the only way to permanently end US tax filing obligations and regain full access to Dutch banking, investing, and pension products without IRS interference.

STORIES FROM PEOPLE WHO HAD ENOUGH OF THE U.S. TAX SYSTEM

Why Stephen and Jenny chose to renounce

“The main consideration was financial reasons. I cashed in on an investment I thought was tax-free and it ended up I had to pay a pretty hefty tax to the United States.”

Stephen
Based in Germany

“I had over 30 accounts I would have to report. I just felt overwhelmed by the onerous task. The fact that if I miss a single one, that would be a $10,000 fine.”

Jenny
Based in Canada

“Living in the Netherlands means you are usually taxed as a Dutch resident in normal circumstances. The Netherlands also taxes residents on worldwide income, but it uses a system that looks very different from the US approach.”
