taxes overseas/tax credit in US without paying taxes elsewhere?
As i am preparing to look into the opportunity to moving to Europe i have couple simple questions about taxation. I work for a non profit organization based in the US. This organization is looking to open an office in Europe and pay my salary in the US. Since i will live there more than a year, do i have to pay taxes ex in Germany or France since all my income comes and goes directly into a US bank? Also, am i eligible to get lower taxation in the US since i live overseas keeping in mind that i don't pay foreign taxes (if there is a way to do it)? Can that happen, or nothing changes and i am still paying the full amount in the US since my salary comes and gets deposited in here. Or am i subject to foreign taxes regardless?

- Dream on. WHERE you work determines who taxes you. If you work in Germany or France, the mere fact you work there is enough to make you subject to taxation. You don't even meet the exception under the dependent personal services article of the treaties because there are opening an office in which you will be working. That's going to flunk "the remuneration is not borne by a permanent establishment or a fixed base which the employer has in the other State." wording which these treaties have.
