Johnny Depp
curtails French stays
to avoid taxes
Descripción:
This story first appeared in Johnny Depp’s interview with The Guardian on 6 November 2011 and Johnny went onto explain in greater detail during the French stage of The Rum Diary Press Tour. A British tabloid appears to have picked up the story in early December 2011 and twisted into something it was not.
The reporting is overall lacking as the full scenario is:
As with all American citizens, Johnny Depp has to pay US taxes wherever he is in the world. As a famous property owner and part time resident of France Johnny seems to have been targeted by a 2007 change in French Government and therefore policy which offered him French Permanent Residency Status which would involve paying French taxes - presumably income tax but also a peculiar French tax based upon asset wealth no matter where in the world assets are located. Failing this, the French Government applied a rule restricting combined visits to total no more than 183 days a years unless tax was paid.
Johnny Depp was far from the only person affected by the tax changes as the The Sunday Times 2006 article makes clear. Even Johnny Halliday and Gerard Depardieu became tax exiles from their own country.
Johnny Depp made it clear he was not ready to give up his American citizenship and to pay taxes in both countries bears no consideration.
