Very interesting list and some great places. But I wonder how it is with getting residence in these locations. It’s all very well to visit with a laptop and stay in a hotel or furnished apartment on a one month visa. But you can’t get to enjoy the benefit of the low taxes of these destinations unless you are actually domiciled there.

Hong Kong for example is a great place to be based, but trying to get a residence visa as an entrepreneur is very difficult. As far as I know you have to be planning to invest a great deal of money there and intending to employ a number of people locally. Not the kind of enterprise most internet entrepreneurs are involved in running.

We need to consider these destinations from the residency permit point of view, not just the level of taxation.

Tax havens are very handy providing you are careful. With the constantly changing agreements to force offshore havens to disclose, it’s well worth establishing exactly how and where you domicile yourself, your company and indeed your assets before rushing off with the thought that one can live relatively tax free.

In term of taxes I think it’s a great list, but about available resources and incentives?

How about Tahiti in the summers, not sure what the financial situation is there but I’ve always dreamed of going.

Winters would have to be in the states, in the Colorado Rockies, some of the best skiing & snowboarding around.

Michale, an interesting blog post, but I think I have far more to learn from you about making money online than I do about geography!

You talk about taxes on the value of property in Montserrat, but there isn’t much property to be taxed on, as the capital, Plymouth, was destroyed by a volcano in 1997.

Your picture is of Montserrat near Barcelona, Spain – both are great places to visit in their own way, I could write you a few pages on either, but they are on completely different sides of the Atlantic.

Happy blogging, James
