They do that in the US. It hurts a lot of people leaving the US. They are the only relevant country in the world that does this.
Very bad. For example. Someone gets his income from Australia. He lives in Indonesia. Then the indonesian government will tax on the person’s worldwide income. The Australian government will tax the Australian income. The American government will tax all of the income.
Then there’s double taxation treaties to reduce the damage.
It’s nasty. USA in this instance has no right to claim that income. The person does not live in USA. The income does not come from USA.

Just an abuse of power
