There is an exception for Americans living abroad, Only above a certain amount do you pay tax. As for the DR, unless you are earning a lot or run a business you may not pay anything. Each case is different.

Yes, I am aware of the exception for americans living abroad. I was just wondering if there was a difference for those that were also Citizens of another country. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't know, I'm posting here, some reserch I did on line of the " Dominican constitution " .
What I understand reading this document is that only sons of Dominicans who were born abroad. And foreigners womens married to dominicans should be provides with Dominican naturalization certificate.

Gil,The x owner of Villa Jasmin became a citizen and he has been married to the same canadien women for a long time.

As my business is located in Orlando and all my income is generated there, I have no problems paying my US taxes.

Good news is that I did some research and found out that I wouldn't have to pay taxes to the DR government for the income generated in the US by my business.
