FATCA has brought global attention to the IRS’ efforts to thwart tax cheats, but the IRS hasn’t forgotten about tax evasion right here in the US! Happy Asker, founder of Detroit-based Happy’s Pizza has been sentenced to 50 months in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release for tax crimes and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

“If you had to do it all over again, would you still move overseas?” If you are like most expats, the answer is a resounding yes! But that doesn’t mean the expat lifestyle doesn’t come with some challenges. For example, for a German in China, the hardest part was “finding my way to make a bank account, finding a clinic, a dentist, a hairstylist. Not being as in control because we don’t understand the language.”
Family life brings extra challenges for expats. From issues with the quality of schools to raising a family without the assistance of family and friends put a lot of stress on many expats.
The Wall Street Journal Expat Blog conducted a poll to find out how readers felt about their overseas experiences–the good, the bad and the ugly.
