bendix 10 #74 Posted March 13, 2019 If I or (I suspect) anyone had enough money which warranted structuring your financial affairs to minimise your tax obligation, I would certainly do it with no moral compunction at all. My primary responsibility is to myself and my heirs, not the government. Anyone who says they wouldn't is a fool at best, a liar at worst.

Well, looking at several posters who approve of the OP, at least you can't accuse those of being fools or liars: they post openly about doing exactly the same if they won the Lottery. Hypocrisy, on the other hand... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think you've entirely got the wrong end of the stick. This is about people living in Monaco. Living somewhere else is not tax avoidance and it's definitely not tax evasion. Or alternatively if it is, then you're avoiding paying tax in 194 countries, which seems very unfair to the people who live in them and do pay tax... That doesn't really make a lot of sense though does it? Think about all the tax you're avoiding by not living in Belgium! You're evading huge amounts of tax compared to anyone living in Belgium, how immoral is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone 10 #78 Posted March 13, 2019 19 minutes ago, carosio said: Can someone recommend or devise a scheme where we can maximise our tax obligations? Well, you could move to Belgium. And/or become a US citizen whilst living elsewhere. You could pay yourself PAYE and avoid using ISAs and pension schemes. Definitely don't maximise your capital gains relief, but instead realise all gains at once to pay the maximum tax. Don't take advantage of any tax relief available to you, much of which you have to know about yourself and apply to your own accounts as a business. Miss it and they'll simply accept the higher number, they won't tell you about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Aye, Belgians do beer (EDIT: and chips, and chocolate, how could I forget them!) quite a bit better than Brits, Luxemburgers do banking and civil service quite a bit better than Brits, and the Dutch do trading and liberal legislation quite a bit better than Brits.

Are you capable of answering that simple question? What do you propose? Banning emmigration, or just banning emmigration for the rich?
