Last night, we gathered at the world famous Princess Anne Theatre at British Academy of Film and Television Arts for a seminar on tax in 2012, “The Life of An American Abroad”.

The speakers were:

• Darlene Hart, CEO, US Tax and Financial Services Group LTD
• Gregory J. Dean, Esq., Tax Director for US Tax & Financial Services Sàrl
• David Treitel, Tax Director for US Tax and Financial Services Limited
• Andrew Aldridge, Director of International Tax Planning, US Tax and Financial Services Limited

Financial Times columnist and best selling author, Mike Southon, was the host for the evening and we were joined by Neil Mullarkey, a founder-member of the Comedy Store Players, Britain’s top improv troupe.

The seminar covered a variety of US tax compliance-related topics, helping audience members inform themselves on the complexities and requirements of the American tax system for US persons living abroad. Through a clever scenario played out by Neil Mullarkey, our case study Ted passed through many of the stages of life; from moving away from the US to study abroad to marrying, having children, owning a business to the inevitable estate and inheritance planning.
