Hi All,
I am a South African (SA) citizen living in Dubai, UAE. I am investing in a VTI account (Vanguard) and would like to know a few queries on Tax. I have applied for a W-8BEN form and want advise on the the following:
1) Do I need to worry about double taxation if, my income is from UAE and of course don't pay tax?
2) As there is a tax treaty between USA and SA, is it better for me to:
a) apply as a resident of SA because of the tax treaty ? OR;
b) apply as a resident of UAE (which I am) as there then wouldn't be risk for double taxation?
Thanks in advance fellow Mustachians.
Rob
