What’s Covered In This Episode
You will never look at doing your taxes by yourself again. Vincenzo and Mikkel discuss things like:
- Expats living overseas – what they need to do
- Why it’s important to choose a specialist
- Myths that people believe about who needs to file their taxes and how much money they make before filing (you’re going to LOVE this one)
- Who has to file
- Can you skimp on your tax accountant?
- What’s the downside of not filing properly
- Cryptocurrency

NOTICE TO ALL ENTREPRENEURS!!
Do you spend most of your day concentrating on the offence? How can I market more? How can I get more customers? More revenue?
Vincenzo suggests concentrating on the defence.
The discussion then turned to Puerto Rico and the decision was made to do another podcast episode just on Puerto Rico and Act 20/22. We are also going to write some articles about Act 20/22 for American Citizens.

Final Thoughts
This was such an amazing interview with Vincenzo. I learned a ton, so much so that as promised above, we’re going to get him back on the podcast to just talk about Puerto Rico and Act 20/22. There is so much great information for all expats, regardless of where your country of birth is.
