Paid Disinformation Blogger Level: 14 CS Original | Banks: by holding deposits in banks located in jurisdictions with less stringent (or nonexistent) disclosure requirements. Switzerland, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands are the usual havens. Corporations: by organizing beneficial ownership of companies or property in shell or holding entities located in offshore jurisdictions. These are popular (and legal) all over the world, but right now I understand Ireland is a hot one. | |||||

STFU! Level: 1 CS Original | Hence the lawyers that serve as the only employees in company representative offices. I know a guy who is in fact acting general manager for several different corporations. Lichtenstein has been doing this for decades. | |||||

Level: 6 CS Original | Well, it's still illegal. Just put your assets in shell companies, tunnel out through Ireland and the Netherlands, charge high licensing fees to the mother company and you're legally tax-free, or close to it. | |||||
