The US Remittance tax is a new law that introduced a 1% federal remittance tax on the transfer of funds from a US account starting from 1 January 2026. This tax is applied if you are a US citizen, a non-US citizen, or a green card holder for the money transfer services using US accounts.

    The new US remittance tax has some effects on the US taxpayers, which are:

    • The US Remittance tax can be creditable against your US tax bill if you have a Social Security number (SSN), and your details are verified by the remittance providers to the IRS.  
    • The US taxpayers have to report the total amount the tax paid in every single year on their federal income tax return. 
    • To claim the tax return, US taxpayers need to provide some personal details, which include the SSN, when sending funds. The IRS can again demand the same information if it questions your credit claim.

    The US remittance tax means that if you are transferring money to another country, then you can expect a new receipt on the annual tax return. This will help clear all foreign country money flows, combat money laundering, and establish a tax fairness system for all people in the United States of America.
