RE: Expat Tax: German and Austrian expats are now taxed immediately as if they sold all their ETFs (and financial assets in Austria) at the time of their departure. The state doesn't want you to leave any more.

I think exit taxes are a scam. It just sounds like a way for the government to blackmail some money off you before you leave. I think the US has had some similar laws but I don't like them.
