因梅根王妃的國籍 英國王室面臨稅務噩夢

The UK royal family faces a tax "nightmare" as US officials examine whether Meghan and Harry owe them a slice of their multi-million pound fortune.

隨着美國官員調查擁有數百萬英鎊身家的梅根和哈里王子是否涉嫌拖欠稅款，英國王室正面臨一場“稅務噩夢”。

The Duchess of Sussex is still an American citizen, so has to pay tax in the US, and this could extend to anyone else she draws money from, including her husband.

蘇塞克斯公爵夫人（梅根）仍是一名美國公民，必須在美國納稅，而徵稅可能牽連到給予梅根金錢支持的任何人，包括她的丈夫哈里王子。

This could deplete both her $5 million US fortune and Prince Harry's main source of private wealth, a 300,000-pound-a-year trust fund on which he pays UK income tax.

這將使梅根在美國500萬美元的財產和哈里每年從信託基金所獲的30萬英鎊縮水。該信託基金是哈里主要的私人財富來源，在英國繳納所得稅。

The probe could even extend to the Queen and Prince Charles as they provide funding for the couple, aides told the Sunday Express, which reported that the royals are set to employ a team of US financial consultants to deal with the issue.

王室的助手向《週日快報》表示，調查甚至可能牽連到爲哈里夫婦提供資助的女王和查爾斯王子。該報報道稱，王室將聘請美國財務顧問團隊來處理此問題。

'We're looking at a level of financial exposure the Royal Family has never had to face before,' one of the aides said.

一名王室助手稱：“我們正面臨的是王室之前從未面對過的財務風險。”

The US Internal Revenue Service is known for being extremely strict in tracking down people they believe owe them money.

美國國內收入署向來以嚴格追查他們認爲拖欠稅款的美國公民而聞名。
