The Worlds Best Tax Havens

By Lee Hadnum

Overview

This book provides an interesting insight into the world of tax havens.

The first part of the guide contains indispensible information on 25 of the worlds best tax havens – from the exotic Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and Monaco, to less well-known but highly attractive tax havens like Cyprus, Malta and the Isle of Man.

Inside you'll find out how you can:

• Obtain residence in a number of beautiful countries which have 0% tax.
• Invest in property hotspots which have no income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax.
• Run a successful business from a country which has 0% corporation tax.

The second half of the book explores how big companies and the rich use tax havens and how, with proper planning, you too could legally enjoy some of these benefits. You'll find out how to go about setting up offshore companies, trusts and foundations and how these useful structures could help you lower your taxes or protect your hard-earned money from the outside world.
