Book Description
The inspiration for Expats, a new series starring Nicole Kidman coming soon to Prime Video. “Devastating and heartwarming, and exquisite in every way, this is a book you’ll fall deeply in love with and never want to put down.” —Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians From the New York Times bestselling author of The Piano Teacher, a searing novel of marriage, motherhood, and the search for connection far from home. In the glittering city of Hong Kong, expats arrive daily for myriad reasons—to find or lose themselves in a foreign place, and to forget or remake themselves far from home. Amidst this hothouse atmosphere, a tragic incident causes three American women’s lives to collide in ways that will rewrite every assumption of their privileged world: Mercy, a young Korean American and recent Columbia graduate, once again finds herself compromised and adrift, trying to start her life anew; Hilary, a wealthy housewife, is haunted by her struggle to have a child, hoping to save her uncertain marriage; meanwhile, Margaret, once the enviable mother of three, tries to negotiate an existence that has become utterly unrecognizable after a catastrophic event. Faced with unthinkable choices, these three women form a profound connection that defies the norms of the sequestered community—finding in each other a strength borne of need, forgiveness, and ultimately hope. Atmospheric and utterly compelling, The Expatriates showcases Lee’s exceptional talent as one of our keenest observers of women’s inner lives.

Book Description
"It was 12 years ago when I moved to Mexico, leaving my comfortable, familiar life and community, driving by myself to start a new life in a foreign country. Some sort of bravado or naivete or, as my friends would say later, courage, allowed me to pooh-pooh concerns about all the unknowns- culture, language, customs-and head off nonetheless."And so begins one of the more than two dozen essays in this anthology, written by "regular" women about their "regular" lives and how they decided to change everything and move to Mexico. In simple, engaging words straight from the heart, the contributors to Why We Left share their plans and preparations, hardships and challenges, joys and satisfactions as their journeys to new lives in Mexico unfold.

Book Description
This book explicitly addresses expatriates whose status is a foreign citizen (WNA), but they have become Domestic Individual Taxpayers (WPOP-DN) in taxation. Therefore, the discussion is mainly related to the ins and outs of taxation rights and obligations, especially regarding Income Tax. Thus, the detailed discussion contains guidelines on filling out the Annual Individual Income Tax Return, paying taxes owed, and filling and reporting the tax return electronically. The discussion of this book is carried out in a structured and systematic way, starting from the introduction of Indonesian taxation, tax structure, rights and obligations of taxpayers, tax subjects, tax identification number, income, assets, debts, tax credits, and family dependents. In addition, matters related to implementing taxpayer rights, risk mitigation, and tax audits are presented in full so that expatriates can fill out tax returns, mitigate risks properly, and avoid tax sanctions.
