Hello There,
My US based employer relocated me to their UAE office about a year ago. My salary is paid in local currency from one of the local office here in UAE and therefore all the local rules apply. I know that I am eligible for Foreign Income Exclusion up to $87000. But my question is do I need to pay Social Security Tax and Medicare? Please keep in mind that my salary is paid from one of the local office and I am not on US's Office payrol anymore.
Thank you
