Germany adds a value added tax and reimburses those that leave its borders.
Yours is the exact opposite; not tax it in the U.S. but tax that which leaves the border. I thought we weren't in favor of raising taxes?
Americans pay the tax and are reimbursed.
The vast majority of Americans have domestic financial accounts. They do not use wire services for sending funds overseas. They use their financial accounts for which they must show ID to establish. Illegals can’t do that.
The vast majority of wired remittances will be illegals. Those that are legal can get reimbursed. It’s not difficult at all.
Only those who try to think of every loophole will rant on that taxing remittances won’t work. The loopholes are easily plugged.
