Technically, this statement is not true. when there is a
conflict between a treaty and tax law, the court first tries
to reconcile the two. If it can not reconcile the two, then
the one with the most current date rules. Therefore, a
treaty does not always trump tax law.

Don't be so sure. Courts applied the last in time theory on
a conflict recently between the US-Canada treaty and the old
AMT limitation on foreign tax credits. The treaty lost.

Thanks Dean.
Can you explain a little more about 'tax credit'?
Sorry if that's an obvious question but I know nothing
about taxes.

Default Us or UK tax ??

Hi - I am a UK citizen married to a UK citizen. I will be
emigrating to the US soon but as I am a Web developer I will
be keeping some of my UK clients and (hopefully) getting
some US clients also.

I envisage paying US tax as that would seem most straight
forward but what do I need to do legally speaking about UK
funds being paid into a UK bank and then tranfered to my US
account? Where do I pay taxes on this income?

Thanks in advance

Steve
