An interesting thread. About 5 years ago I was considering a proposal of
running the McDonnell Douglas Space Systems Europe office, headquartered in
Bonn, Germany.
The tax situation, as I was told by the guy running the office for 15 years,
was you compute your tax based on both German and US rates and regulations
and then you pay the greater of the two. That didn't sound too exciting to
me.
My wife is a German citizen who has lived in the US for over 30 years. She
had mixed feelings about moving back to her homeland. Anyway, although I
was picked for the job, the deal fell through do to some corporate stuff. I
had been offered the same job five years earlier and I didn't peruse it. I
was disappointed, but I moved on with my life.
Last year I visited Germany and we had a delightful time. We stayed in a
couple of small villages which were just wonderful and quite reasonable. I
thought back about the job opportunity that fell through.
