Income Tax for L1 holder paid from company overseas
I entered the US on 7/31/07 on a L1 Visa. As Immigration Law allows, my salary will continue to be paid by the mother company in Italy.
My Italian CPA says that Italian law allows me not to pay tax if I spend more than 50% of a calendar year in another country as an immigrant or non-immigrant in lawful status, provided that the income comes from work done in the other country.
Therefore I am not going to pay tax in Italy for that income.
Should I pay income tax in the US? And just for the income I make from the company sponsoring my L1, or any other income (consulting work, property tax, etc)?
Thanks!
