New tax to fund Obamacare could leave American expats in Canada owing Uncle Sam

“Americans will be subject to a new 3.8 per cent tax on investment income that kicks in this year to help pay for the government’s new healthcare program, known as Obamacare.  Lawyer Kevyn Nightingale, a Toronto-based U.S. tax expert, estimated tens of thousands of Americans living in Canada could be affected by the new tax and find themselves owing money for the first time.  The problem, the Globe said, is that unlike rules that allow expats to claim credits for taxes they’ve paid in the countries where they live, they can’t offset this new tax.”
