Quote from: hehehe on August 30, 2012, 01:30 pmI'm looking at getting some ideas about managing my money and keeping most of it. I'm in a EU country with high taxes, plus I don't like what the government does with my tapayer money. I don't want to mak this topic country specific though. So, what's the best place to stash your money in Europe and avoiding paying tax? What tax heavens are out there and how do they work? The rich and the lords of each and every country in this world do it all the time, they just call it "tax avoidance" instead of "tax evasion".Hi hehehe,As far as I'm aware, the best places to keep money off-shore these days is currently the Cayman Islands. However, you'll need to maintain a minimum balance in your account of (usually) 50,000 and there are high fees for the services provided.Closer to home, you'll find regulated off-shore banks in Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Switzerland. Note though that these 4 jurisdictions WILL share your information, if it's requested.To bank securely in the Caymans, it will be necessary to set up an off-shore front company, but my knowledge on this subject is extremely limited so I can't really be of any further help to you.Unless you're dealing with relatively large sums of money, you won't be able to open up a bank account in the Cayman Islands.
