    I live in Europe and I was planning to arrange my situation so that I move to Thailand, and after 6 months if I own nothing in my home country I can apply for limited tax status which means that my home country will not tax any income that comes from outside the home country. I am now in the process of selling everything and owning nothing in my home country. Thailand on the other hand does not tax income that comes from outside Thailand. So if I organise my work so that my income will be paid from a third country that has no income tax, for example UAE - then in this situation there will be no one left who wants to tax me and I am doing everything legally. 🤑

    I have a new business coming up and I'll stuff my money in Switzerland. I will report everything to the government, however I don't trust the government. We live in Norway and my father was involved in a big project as a middle man. He received money from an investor in his account and forwarded it to the seller. Suddenly one day the government decided he hadn't paid enough taxes so they literally just froze all his Norwegian accounts. In case of having money abroad the clear benefit is that closing accounts in other countries takes time and gives power to the owner of the money instead of the government.

      @@sgill4833 That just means that you have to plan to deposit or withdraw money from those accounts every so often. Its no more difficult than paying bills in multiple countries. Heck if you don't do anything with your bank account every six months (used to be ever three years) in Australia they'll close it and then good luck getting your money back from the government - this is even if you're a local. The excuse is to help you find your money because you "forgot" about your account supposedly - completely ignoring the fact that your money was where you left it. Governments do this as once money is in their "general revenues" account for more than two years, they can keep it for "the public good".
      What's not convenient is being denied paying certain government departments or bills because you're trying to use a foreign account. Many countries such as Australia only permit money to come from local sources to pay taxes and bills - they claim this is for AML/KYC requirements. Most of Central and Eastern Europe have the same requirement for the same reasons.

    Andrew, you made the point multiple times about not living and banking in the same country, but you didn't say much about where the best places to bank are. You named a few places several Times each but I don't think you mentioned more than six or seven good banking countries. Surely there are more good places to bank than that? Switzerland, Georgia, Malaysia, Singapore, Cayman Islands, and something quickly about Thailand. What about Ireland? You briefly mentioned Turkey but I missed if it was a good or bad place. Maybe do one just one the best places to bank and that might help people settle the other important issues of citizenship, passports, and where to live?

    I mean if you have a residence in a tax friendly place with solid banking like the Channel Islands or UAE or Switzerland and you have ties with a country such as a permanent home -that is in fact a vacation home as opposed to your true habitual abode, a d that higher tax country has a double tax treaty with the residence you want to be your primary tax home it may well make sense to have your banking in that primary tax home. You will want to have your banking there, your driver's license there, your doctor there, you will want your children if you have any enrolled in a school there, you will want to make it clear under most treaties that where you have a residence is your center of vital economic interest and your primary banking account that you pay bills from, perhaps not all of your money, but your operational accounts for you personal life at the very least ie a current account that pays your living expenses should be there especially if you are for example a citizen of the country where you have a primary residence. The tie breaker rules in Malta's Double Tax Treaties with those three even more tax friendly places will not resort to where you are a national to decide your tax residence if your center of interest is clearly in the other jurisdiction. If that jurisdiction is a solid banking jurisdiction as Switzerland, Jersey and Guernsey or the Isle of Man, and the UAE are, then baking there makes a lot of sense to secure tie breaker benefits under a tax treaty. You don't want Malta to consider you ordinary resident and domiciled there when you could have your money taxed at a zero rate in UAE or a lump sum regime at a favorable rate in Switzerland or even a capped rate in the Channel Islands that is similar to the Swiss lump sum regime.

      @@jeremybarlow2291 Whilst I encourage everyone to not break the law, there will always be ways to hide money. Consider the following: Art, bullion, luxury homes, land, luxury vehicles and boats. These are all ways of hiding money as they can be owned through living trusts, shell companies, etc. The most corrupt industry in the world which is also responsible for the most money laundering in the world is the Art industry. If you're wondering why art, its because the value of art is subjective. To me it might be worthless but to Joe Bloggs to the right of me, it might be worth billions. Bullion is the next most common option as its a tangible that can be purchased without registration and taken wherever the owner wants it.
      As for why hiding money or assets is critical - privacy and safety. Public knowledge of who has what money and assets simply puts the individual in danger or kidnap and ransom or extortion. Not having privacy makes people targets. If you're not a US citizen, there are plenty of ways to legally have privacy however it will involve lawyers and govt's vouching that they know the legal owner but are not making it public for the safety of the individual and through the use of complex legal structures. Live full-time in a tax haven and its easy, live anywhere else and you're basically screwed.

I was taking photos of my checks, and then the banks started to limit my amount that I could deposit by phone. That forced me to drive to the bank!!! Brother James Kendall Moore OSB OFS OSC ✝️

If you have a second citizenship with a different passport you avoid those problems.
