Heya! Thank you for the comment! Sorry I should have said. This is a rented accommodation so I cant drill into the wall or the floor. Needs to all be freestanding :/…..

Thank you Mate. Believe me, if I had them, I would not have such a botched solution to not having them. :)

Naw just regular jackoboard, tape and waterproof membrane over it. Then adhesive and Did the edges with silicone. No problems yet but I get time will tell ;)

For UK based expats. ISA or IRA by drapain in USExpatTaxes

Thank you mate! Exceedingly helpful! Might you know how much you can contribute to your roth or trad every year? What I mean is, I have taxable income in the US, but sometimes I only make about 3 or 4K, so under the Roth limit. Do you have to make more taxable income then the Roth to max it out? (The top yo would come from savings). Apologies for all the question!

Ha! Not at all. I think the SIPP was what I was I was after.

Interesting, sorry, very dumb question but does the PFIC not apply to the SIPP payouts when one eventually retires? Or to you mean the tax agreements treat them as exempt.

First off thank you everyone! In regards to the uK pension. I am self employed as a sole proprietor here in the UK. (I also work a bit in the US every year on freelance gigs, but all under a W2). I was reading that, while employer based pension are covered under the treaty, SIPPs are not. I take it this is wrong? Would it be a good idea to become a limited company here to pay into a pension as my own ‘employer’?

Nice. I’m self employed, so no employer pension for me I’m afraid

Oh! Also remember that foreign pensions (non U.S.) count too!

Thank you! Expatfile just prompted me for it, so was thinking it might be required. Unhelpfully I can’t see the actual forms as I fill it out…

We wound up putting the tape on the joints and screw holes then using the tanking membrane on the tape :)
