EU for life, because it's going to be able to get in your car, drive 3 hours and be in another country
US for business because it's waaaaaaaay easier to run a business there. Less socialist.

for example about what Konrad said: I don't have many problems running a business here in CZ and this year it got even easier - like for example you don't have to come up anymore with $10,000 to open a limited company. And I just give my tax accountant power of attorney and he does everything for me - no fighting with authorities myself. I can only recommend CZ - when you can deal with cold winters and the language

So many factors. I've lived in the US most of my life, but studied and worked in France, lived in Colombia, South America for a few years and now I'm in Asia.
I look at it this way: If I have $1 million liquid and make $100,000 a year, neither Europe nor the US would be my first 2 choices. It would be Northern South American and SouthEast Asia. |

Lived in France, UK, Spain and Canada. I think Canada is the best place for family life (from what I've seen).
But as a single... Europe any time |

I would stay as far away from the EU/UK/US as possible..... they're in serious decline and they're building a berlin wall to trap people into their system and freedoms are being pulled away from people left, right and centre. For me, id look at basically every metric and every aspect of a country from the quality of the air, to strength of the economy.
US/UK economies are not doing badly but they're two of the biggest debtor nations in the world..... i'd run a mile from any debtor nation. The whole FATCA thing, the new taxation rules they're discussing at the G8 now, increased regulation, increased militarization. Randy is about right...... south America and south east asia (infact, Id go broader Asia/Pacific). These would be good choices. |

Just drop my take.... Japan and (even China) good - both awesome for living and there. I've met some of the most amazing, friendly, generous, intelligent people in the world. I don't think any other peoples compare to them if I generalize and im a big fan of Chinese and Japanese food.
China doesn't have much of a rule of law in business but is a BIG creditor nation. It's second largest economy in the world (by GDP) and has many times more foreign exchange reserves than the second biggest holder. Super strong economy and super strong opportunity long term but its very far from western ways of doing things and the pollution is terrible.... awful in some cities. Japan is a very hi-tech, funky place but the big downside and if you've got some cash you might find it a bit cheaper these days as the Japanese yen has fallen about 30% or so in the last year vs the USD. However, the downside is that japan is in some trouble economically and is in a recession. Demographics in Japan are not favorable economically either (aging population). The other thing that puts me off is that Japan has the highest Debt/GBP ratio in the world. So for me, it would come back to the debt issue. Australia is great but very reliant on commodities and personally, I sometimes find the aussies a bit noisy, grating and of lower intelligence (if I generalize) and I know some aussie is gonna kick my ass now. That said, it's a wonderful place, very beautiful, diverse but taxation is high. No language barrier either... Women are gorgeous in all three. The other aspect is political - I don't believe that either Australia, China or Japan are countries with many enemies and plus they all seem to have a high level of self sufficiency from food/energy point of view. So if you think about a longer term perspective, that might be something you would consider. |

EU looks better long term versus the other two, but there are still high levels of indebtedness and some early signs of deflation. Within EU there would be some choices that would be better than others for sure, but assuming there is only one choice I wouldn't choose any of them as long term Asia/Pacific region looks a lot better... just my and only because he's thinking of pros and cons. |

You`re agreeing with what I am saying. The person makes some ridiculous blanket statement about EU countries meeting those requirements when you and I both know that is not the case.

Well depend what POV you have,if you look as organization,then what he says it's true,if you look individually country by country then not.After all you could have same approach by telling how north of single country is great,but south of it is complete backward.

depend what business you want to do
I will never suggest you to open an italian restaurant in Italy in my experience - US come first, huge market, millions of customers, low taxes european taxes are the same, almost same law - Germany too, great european market, high competition - France too. - Italy.....depend on your business and if you are able to manage with dumb policemen and gov offices - Swiss, amazing, low taxes as US, but small market, and hard to compete in EU prices because there is custom between you and rest of Europe. But you have a straight contact with Swiss Authorities for your company and tax management. The only problem you can have is to have a bad accountant that stole your money. - Spain......no idea - East Europe.......I prefer not to set a company there, countries in motion, rules and law can change very fast.

Well the US is one of only two countries (out of more than 200) which levies tax based on citizenship rather than residence as most countries do around the world. US taxes aren't exactly low, rather I'd say they are around mid-range but it doesn't matter because all US citizens have to pay them and it's becoming more and more difficult for US citizens to lose their citizenship by choice (think Eduardo Saverin, Facebook cofounder). As well as making it very difficult for US citizens to have bank accounts or use related facilities located outside the United States due to new reporting requirements like FATCA.
Anytime a government is trying to lock its citizens in behind a wall.... that concerns me because it talks about freedom. The US government is simply in the process of herding all their citizens into a large pen, locking the gate whilst increasing militarization, surveillance to manage them and to keep them in. In the words of Doug Casey, the US government views its citizens as milk cows and pretty soon, they're going to be slaughtered like beef cows. From a business point of view, regulation is high and getting higher all the time - more difficult to do business. Since the US economy is based upon consumption, then I guess the millions of customers is a big advantage. However, long term that is not sustainable. The US is, however, a major leader in technology, self sufficient in terms of food and energy and is still the largest economy in the world by GDP. However, those stats are pretty much trounced (for me at least) by the terrible Debt/GDP and total debt figures. In fact, the US is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world. Official figures put US debt at around 17 Trillion but if you factor in, the so called unfunded liabilities which will be coming due, the real figure is something like $100 Trillion plus and today that number is regarded as conservative. So whilst I always told people the US was a good choice even as recently as 10 years back. Going forward I would regard it as just mediocre for most people and not a good idea for business people. |

in europe taxes are little bit higher than USA, we have VAT (about 20%),
but all Europe has healthcare system, free or almost free. in UK you pay your medicines 5.95 pounds (any medicine) and doctor is free. in Italy is almost the same, doctor is free, and with doctor paper you can buy very expensive medicine for just 2 euro. in hospital you pay a small ticket for special visits, (free for emergencies) same for France.....and Germany. that's why I prefer to live in Europe... but for business....USA is better....you need a private insurance and it's done

The reclaimable part of vat (on things you buy for your company) is most of the time peanuts compared to paying the 21% vat on what you've sold... So... vat is not so nice at all.... in the end you always pay more then you can claim back... If you can claim more vat back then you pay... then you don't have a profitable business...

Every time i have to collect VAT from a client (and that happens maybe 5 times a year for me) I just pass that money to the tax office and that's it. and i return i get VAT back for everything I buy for the company VAT is really no problem. And corporate tax in CZ is 19% - acceptable. and then there are ways to also (legally) minimize your personal taxes.

which means: when you earn a lot of money, you pay a lot for that. so the solution is that (as a business owner) you pay yourself only a low salary and pay the rest by profits from your company (that you hopefully have ) but overall it's manageable and actually I don't have a problem paying my fair share.

In B2B it might seem so, but the end price is higher for the end customer and thus impacts his buying power.
VAT decreases overal demand as higher prices for any reason. |

There seem to be a lot of good and bad things about each country.
You just need to look at them in all the areas you like and decide which is best for you.

in the US it annoys me cause sales tax is never included and i always get surprised when the final price is higher than i thought before. but here VAT is always included in the price and when i buy something (privately) i never calculate the net amount and then decide not to buy it

I won't calculate net amount as it's irrelevant when I am bying as a invidual. But it is hard not to notice that does something cost 30 euros or 35, or what ever the VAT is. You know, the price is higher, and at least I am not that rich that I could and would buy regardless of the price or how much I have money.

What countries in the EU? I wouldn't recommend anyone to move to Sweden. Except immigrants, they get everything they need for free + more!
Sweden is horrible when it comes to business, the taxes are so fucking high, there's barely anything left.
