business development. You might want to check them out. They rock.

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.

Reasons, Lifestyle, Climate

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

Hi Michael,

Nice list – but most of the places you listed have a high cost of living. So you would more or less save on taxes but still use the money to maintain a descent standard of living.

Countries which have relaxed tax laws and reasonable rates of living along with scenic beauty and a lovely climate would be Srilanka (pretty safe now that the terrorism part has been taken care of ), Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the andoman and nicobar islands – most of these places are in Asia – which give you a great internet connection, have great VA’s to assist you and you basically double/triple your income with the low cost of living.

Hope this helps…I also know great VA’s who want work – so if anyone needs a specialized VA – drop me an email…

Cheers

Those places are amazing! But staying for good is not a good idea for me. Thanks for the list though.

I dislike taxes as much as the next guy, but don’t know how so many people have the idea that US taxes are high. Especially for small business, they are among the lowest … and as has been pointed out you do not need to be a US citizen to own a business or as bank account there. and you do not have to visit the USA to open a US bank account. Regarding shipping? I order stuff sent to a shipping company in the US and forwards mail and packages overseas for me … all my business is done as if I still lived in the USA, including my USA phone number via Skype.

Excellent list, and love that you got your VA to compile it. TIm Ferriss would be proud!

It’s not just about taxation of course. Out of the places on your list I would choose HK due its unbeatable entrepreneurial spirit.
