Colleges and fellow aviators, a quick question if I may be so bold, an old topic perhaps but in this ever shrinking world we live in, I'd appreciate any wise words of advice.
I am a
UK citizen, resident in the
US (green card). I have been offered a position in the UAE to work on a
6 week on 6 week off schedule, approx $500 a day in country. My US interviewer said that this would be a tax free salary. As he is a US citizen and not a US permanent resident, like myself, he could not fully answer two of my questions:
A) Would a 6 week on 6 week off schedule, affect my US green card residency ?
B) I know I will still have to file US Tax returns in order to retain my residency,
BUT Would I still be eligible for any tax breaks on my earnings in the UAE, like my US Citizen colleges. Or with me being a
US resident (green card holder) working in the UAE on a 6/6 rotation, would I forfeit this tax free privilege.
Cheers guys ! be gentle it’s my first post…..
