What this recording covers

Claver clarifies how tax residency rules apply to a non-US citizen holding crypto on a US-based platform. He explains that without any connection to the United States, the tax obligation falls in the person's country of residence, not in the US. The key distinction is that the US taxes on the basis of citizenship, so a US citizen living abroad still owes US taxes regardless of where accounts are held. Most other countries apply residency-based taxation. Where a double-tax treaty exists between two countries, the taxpayer generally pays at the higher of the two rates, and that payment offsets the liability in the other country.
