In this webinar, John McNertney, CFP®, Managing Partner at Green Ocean Global Advisors, LLC reviewed the most important provisions of “The Big Beautiful Bill” and how it affects Americans in Portugal.

Some of the relevant issues that were addressed include:

  • The impact of making the Trump-Era Tax Cuts permanent, such as the continued Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction and the cap on mortgage interest deductions
  • Revisions to State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions
  • The provision reducing tax on Social Security benefits
  • Introduction of a Remittance Tax: a 1% levy on cross-border cash transfers, affecting both U.S. citizens and immigrants who send money overseas
  • The indefinite extension of the current Estate Tax exemption limit
  • The potential for retaliatory international tax measures
