Hollywood Actor Johnny Depp is quitting France to avoid paying taxes and in an interview he said that France wanted him to become a permanent resident and to pay taxes. Pirates of the Carribean star, long-time partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children have moved back to the US. As an American citizen he has to pay US taxes wherever he is in the world and said that if he spent more than 183 days in France a year he would have to pay French and US taxes.
Depp says in an interview in the December issue of The Connexion it is a “country that has made him very happy and the culture, the feeling of the place”. In recent interview he also said that he alters his behavior so as to minimize his tax bills. Johnny Depp is said to be a “the world’s coolest actor” and is also one among the highest-paid movie stars of all time.
Depp left to States because France wanted a piece of him. They wanted him to become a permanent resident. Permanent residency status that changes everything. They just want… Dough. Money… Johnny Depp sarcastically said, “I’m certainly not ready to give up my American citizenship. You don’t have to give up your American citizenship.”
Depp had held a residence in France since the 1990s and now he officially made his full-time move to the United States as a way to avoid paying taxes to the French. If he spends more than 183 days out of a year there, he’ll be force to fork over tax money to both Europe and America, noting that he would “essentially be working for free.”
Anyhow he has work in United States and need to pay taxes in States but to visit native it’s not the rule to pay taxes until and unless he stays for more than 183 days and that was good idea from Johnny Depp to avoid taxes, he had right rule.
