原标题:哈里梅根的王室宝宝,竟然还要向美国纳税!?

散财童子。

作为新手爸爸和妈妈,哈里、梅根要面临很多问题。

但是有一个问题,是之前的王室成员都没有经历过的。

王室宝宝一出生就是美国人?!

因为梅根是美国籍,她的孩子也将自动成为美国籍。

而作为美国公民,梅根和她的孩子将有责任给美国纳税。

“The United States has—— unique among nations—— a citizenship-based taxation(system), so as long as Meghan is a citizen of the United States she is taxed,” explained David Treitel, the founder of American Tax Returns Ltd。

“美国(的纳税制度)很特别,是基于美国公民身份的税收制度。只要梅根还是美国公民,她就要被征税,” DavidTreitel,American Tax Returns公司的创始人告诉CNN。

也就是说,只要你是美国人,走到哪里都要给山姆大叔纳税。

“The baby is being born to a United States citizen and that baby, little boy or girl, who comes along in the next few weeks, will automatically be a citizen of the United States simply because her mother is,” Treitel said。

“这个孩子是美国公民所生的。几周后将要出生的男孩或女孩都将自动成为美国公民,因为他/她的母亲是,”Treitel说。

作为一名美国公民,无论她住在哪里,Meghan都有义务提交美国纳税申报表,并报告任何外国账户,申报超过20万美元的资产以及价值超过15,797美元的礼品。

比如她结婚时英国女王赠送的戒指,两人居住的豪宅一一都要申报。

也就是说,女王奶奶家里有多少钱,美国人也可以知道?

“The Queen has got to sit there and her advisers have to sit there thinking: well if I lend Meghan a tiara, if I have the baby use a beautiful silver rattle that was used by Queen Victoria, how much is that worth? What‘s the value of it? How much is to be reported to the States? It’s a tough question, it‘s not easy,” Treitel said。

“女王可能会坐在那儿,她的顾问坐在那里想:好吧,如果借给Meghan一个头饰,或者让宝宝使用维多利亚女王用过的银色拨浪鼓,那值多少钱?向美国申报多少?这是一个棘手的问题。”Treitel说。

不仅如此,如果梅根考虑出售任何礼物,也需要给美国纳税。

梅根避免向美国纳税唯一的途径就是取得英国国籍后,放弃美国国籍,成为英国公民。即使她这样做,即将出生的宝宝仍将要给美国纳税,直到18岁。

That means that throughout the child‘s life, he or she will also have their assets and income exposed to US taxes——including any“unearned income” over$2,100-- until they are 18 years old, and have the opportunity to renounce their citizenship, if they choose to do so。

这意味着梅根孩子的资产和收入也会受到美国税收的影响,任何超过2,100美元的“非劳动所得”都要报税。直到18岁,这个孩子才有机会选择放弃美国公民身份,如果他/她选择这样做。

“One would expect because the Queen comes from a wealthy family, Diana came from a wealthy family, we would expect that they‘ve put aside some investments for future generations, presumably to future unnamed children and grandchildren and so on,” Treitel explained。

“女王家很有钱,戴安娜家也很有钱。我们可以猜测他们给后代留下了很多财产,” Treitel说。

哈里和梅根的宝宝一出生,就会继承很多财产,这些财产都要向美国国税局申报。

那英国王室到底有多少钱呢?CNBC曾经就八卦过。

The British royal family has an estimated net worth of$88 billion, according to business consultancy firm Brand Finance。

根据咨询公司Brand Finance,英国王室资产净值估计有880亿美元。
