Expat Taxes

8 years ago
I see that Uruguay has the benefit of 5 years no income tax requirement for new residents into the country.

If i relocated to Uruguay for 5 years, worked remotely for my US company and earned US dollars into my US bank account.... does anyone know how the Foreign Earned Income Credit would work in this scenario? Its generally to avoid double taxation, but if the host country (Uruguay) is saying I normally would have tax, but for a period of time I don't, would I be able to not pay US income tax by claiming this exclusion... or am is it just wishful thinking in trying to avoid paying ANY income tax for five years?

Thanks!
