Bump :)

I think… dive deeper and carefully before choosing Sark or similar options. A Short stay in Sark in any year where you then have longer stays in other countries in the same year or rolling 12 months means you need to check carefully the fine print of the tax laws in those other countries you...

to respond to your very general question about "What is the advantage of having two passports, if any?", I am putting aside the discussion about bought passports... Like others have rightly said, it all depends on what your first passport is, and what you want to achieve. For example, some...

It is not hard to find out the current requirements to apply for the certificate. What then? Be warned. Sadly, Georgian legal advisors are notoriously unreliable. I am speaking from my own and friends hard experience, having used and relied on Georgian lawyers before. They will leave you in...

Umm, is this a serious question? You will not find any modern business with any kind of serious income making decisions about tax minimisation strategies without first obtaining and recording their legal and accounting advice from a professional registered in the country where you are likely to...

As backpacker stated, what the Georgian law states and how it's interpreted are 2 different things. Only experience on the ground nows what the final result will be. Everything else is speculation. Sensible advice reads like this: You can read material online for years and still not fully...
