Michael Littaur

Entrepreneur Michael Littaur always knew he was both American and Dutch because of his American mother, despite being born and raised in the Netherlands. However, he had no idea about his tax obligations in the US. When he sold his business, he discovered that he also had to file tax returns in America. Then, together with Daan Durlacher, he founded the company Americans Overseas so that others can be well informed in advance and not have to make the same mistakes they did.

Born in the 1970s in the Netherlands to an American mother and a Dutch father, Michael soon began his working life as an entrepreneur. When he himself was completely up-to-date with his U.S. tax obligations, he and Durlacher decided to start a company where informing and connecting people is key.

Experience

Michael can draw on his years of experience as a successful entrepreneur. As a result, it didn’t take him long to master the knowledge and expertise surrounding America’s citizenship-based tax system.

No one should be surprised by unexpected tax liabilities. That’s why we want to help others avoid the mistakes we made

Job and role

Michael knows all about the complicated U.S. tax rules for Americans Overseas. Thanks to his unique background – having grown up in the Netherlands with a New York mother – he understands better than anyone how difficult it can be to comply with the tax rules as an American overseas. This experience led him to specialize in this area. Every day he is committed to ensuring that Americans Overseas remains at the forefront of the latest technology to help clients file their returns as easily and securely as possible.
