Yeah it’s confusing.
At first, I was also going to post about how Canada uses a residential income tax system: even if you’re a citizen, you don’t pay income tax if you live and work overseas. But it turns out where your spouse lives is relevant for determining residency. [1]
Regardless of whether the “astronaut” dads are evading taxes, the bigger question is about designing a tax system that’s both fair and easy to enforce.
