To be honest, I’m not sure if I’m even qualified to discuss this topic, given that I was caught for tax evasion and endured a traumatic 2.5 years under government investigation. You can read more about my experience in my book.
While I may offer some insightful information and personal advice, please take it with a grain of salt. I’m not a qualified tax or legal advisor; everything I’m sharing comes from my own journey and experiences. It may not be true, relevant, or applicable to your circumstances.
It’s important to note that in this blog, I’m not addressing “well-behaved” offshore companies whose ultimate beneficiaries declare revenues, incomes, and profits transparently to tax authorities and follow all proper procedures. There’s plenty of information available online about that.
Here, I’m focusing on offshore companies where the ultimate beneficiaries have unlawfully avoided taxes or intend to do so.
