    Contemplating going offshore, need advise and info

    Thinking about moving domains, hosting, banking, etc. offshore. Need resources, links and "what to look out for" when going offshore. Thanks in advance.

      FYI, it is tax evasion to collect money from your offshore account and not report it

          Not if you "move" offshore, period.

              if you are a US citizen you are required to report all income earned world wide. it has nothing to do with where you are.

              the best advice on this issue is to avoid advice that you are not paying for from a credible source.

                  get a Canadian Citizenship, drop your US citizenship then move to a tax haven. Problem solved. And no I'm not kidding.

                    To this day I find this the most ridiculous part of being a US citizen living abroad. Don't get me wrong, I still do it, but what business of the US government is it what sort of money I make anywhere else in the world? You have to earn a significant amount before you have to actually PAY any taxes on the money earned but why should I have to tell them about it regardless? Do they assume that since I'm an american citizen that EVENTUALLY I'll wanna move back to the US and 'take advantage' of the services that US taxes pay for?

                      It is my understanding that any US citizen is liable to tax on any income earned worldwide over $72,000 USD per year whilst offshore. But there is nothing to stop an offshore company that is managed by an American citizen earning as much money as it wants and owning what ever it wants without tax implication if done correctly..

                        Yes that is exactly right...but WHY??? If I already pay tax on the income in the country where I reside, why should I have to pay tax to a country where I'm not living/working?

                        Granted at the moment I'm not raking in more than $72000 p/a so it isn't an issue but it is always a possibility.

                          isn't the tax in canada like 50%?
                          And isn't it hard as fuck to become a canadian citizen?
                          I looked into becoming a resident because I wanted to buy a condo in Canada because the real estate is so cheap and there were a lot of rules.

                            Well, a system where you pay separately for each government service provided might be more fair in a lot of respects, but I don't know how it would work. If they need to build an overpass in Omaha that you might or might not use someday from wherever you live now, who would they bill? Or, maybe we could just put toll bridge over every overpass.

                            The advice given above for renouncing your citizenship seems like what you should do if you don't want to participate in the US and its tax system.

                                yes it is. but you missed the part about getting a citizenship AND MOVING TO A TAX HAVEN. Canadians pay tax on worldwide income if they are a resident in Canada for more than 183 days a year. It's not like in the US where you pay tax no matter where you reside as long as you are a citizen.

                                I"m not sure how complex it is to get it though. Real estate in western canada is expenisve as fuck!

                                      Eh? Your post makes no sense. If you don't live in the country and are paying (sometimes hefty) taxes in the country you do live why should you still be liable for taxes back where you were born. With a couple of exceptions the US is fairly unique in this. Thankfully if I wanna go live elsewhere my tax laibility to the UK ends and so it should. I'm using the services etc provided by the country I live/work in so they need to be getting my tax.

                                      The flyover you mentioned above would obviously be paid by for the people who are gonna use it ie those that live there still. She never came close to mentioning different tax for different servies, simply that why on earth when you live and pay tax elsewhere should you still have to file US tax reports and be liable for US tax.
                                      Ignorance is never bliss.

                                                  Good idea ;)

                                                  With the amount of money I have spent on tax advise over the years I think I could give better advice than alot of accountants ( US and UK ones ) I have met.. I know good advisors in offshore locations .. The key is to find both on shore and offshore advisers that can work together..

                                                    if you're in the US, MAKE SURE, you use a company in the US like KPMG

                                                          I've never had any problems but then again I've never had more than 1K$ there at any given time.

                                                          You have access to muitiple banks In multiple countries, but I wouldnt trust them with a LOT of money.

                                                            Quote from an old post I made about yambo to save retyping

                                                            I was looking at them but the pricing makes little sense to me.

                                                            i.e.

                                                            Incoming wire transfer to USA bank 1%

                                                            Now if it's incoming would it not be from a USA bank rather than to a USA bank? If it's going to a USA bank would it not be outgoing?



                                                            Incoming payments in PayPal.com 9%

                                                            Given the above I'm confused whether that's money going from the account to paypal or coming in from paypal. If it's for money coming in from paypal that's just stupidly expensive. If it's money going out of the account to paypal it's not a problem as that would rarely if ever happen. Although it says incoming payments it seems far too steep and given the above may even actually be money going out to paypal.

                                                                That's what it says so is probably right. The fact that the wire made no sense made me wonder.

                                                                The problem is 9% to have a payment into the account from paypal is almost exactly 9% too high. I'd rarely need to put money into paypal just take it out and certainly won't pay 9%.

                                                                Oh well - I'll probably just keep looking
