Introduction to going offshore
Kim Weiss

"Our country is wherever we are well off." - John Milton (1666).

This is 37th anniversary of the Tax Haven Manual (ISBN 87-981032-0-2)
since I first started publishing my renowned book in 1975 when I lived in Monaco. A lot has happened since.
Especially the Internet, where you now can get most of the information I published in my book for free.

The elementary / crude definition of going offshore is:

1. Buy a boat and sail 12 miles off the coast.
2. Get into your car and drive across the border.
3. Get on a plane and fly out of the country.

- or follow the best advice, consult one of the numerous expert offshore service providers on the Internet!

Learn from Google's tax loophole (the "Double Irish" and the "Dutch Sandwich" strategy),
the Mobile Wealthy Residency Index, and last - but not least - study the PT - The Perpetual Traveller philosophy and lifestyle.

According to Wealth Bulletin / Financial News and Henley & Partners the world's Top 10 tax havens & offshore financial centers are at the moment the following:
1: Singapore 2: Dubai 3: Switzerland 4: Luxembourg 5: Liechtenstein 6: Monaco 7: Jersey & Guernsey 8: Isle of Man. 9: Cayman Islands 10: Panama.

Before you commit yourself, check OECD's list of unco-operative tax haven jurisdictions.
