Time to dump your American passport -- and with it, presumably, your bothersome U.S. tax bill. The reason, international tax lawyers say, may have less to do with offshore tax evasion and more with a new generation of sophisticated -- and legal -- tax planning. 已经到了扔掉美国护照的时候了——这样的的话，令人讨厌的税负也应该会随之而去。国际税务律师指出，人们这样做的原因和海外逃税没有太大的关系，更多的则是因为出现了一种新的税务规划，它成熟而且合法。 This year will enter the record books with the highest number of expatriations ever by U.S. citizens, according to new government figures released Wednesday. Even rock star Tina Turner, a long-time resident of Switzerland who got a full Swiss passport last April, is on track to relinquish her U.S. ties, her spokeswoman said. 美国周三公布的政府数据显示，今年退籍的美国公民数量将达到历史最高点。据蒂娜?特纳的女发言人透露，就连这位摇滚明星也要和美国脱离关系。特纳已经在瑞士居住了很长时间，去年4月份彻底成为瑞士公民。 |
