Expat Taxes  - Because our basic premise is that to protect ones assets and ones privacy that one cannot live in the USA or the UK.  These nations have become 'rouge' nations in which politicians make money for themselves through their political power. [Witness Dick Cheney: War Profiteer. At last count Halliburton had 58 offshore subsidiaries in Caribbean tax havens. With Cheney at the helm Halliburton's tax payments to the U.S. went from $302 million in 1998 to zero in 1999, when they also received a refund of $85 million from the Internal Revenue Service.] Yet this same war criminal wants YOUR tax dollars.  Move overseas and you can structure your taxes. If you are living overseas but plan to return to the USA you MUST pay your American income tax regardless of where you are earning your income. On this page are a large number of resources for Expat Taxes plus a Newsletter on Expat Taxes, articles by attorneys and public accounts. We also have links to those who will help you with your Expat Taxes. As an expat, it is possible to defer a great deal of your taxes; so read the articles and find out how to do things correctly.
2nd Passports - Economic Citizenship - If you get a 2nd passport and flee America the US Government can't take your money as easily as they could if you were still living in the USA. Therefore the US Goverment is doing everything to keep you from getting a second passport, closing resources and threatening tax-haven nations with sanctions. We explain the many benefits of a Second Passport  -  Passports are a relatively modern invention.  Until about a century ago, entering one country didn’t generally require official proof of citizenship or nationality in another one. The rise of nation-states, nationalism, and especially World Wars I and II made it essential for international travelers to present passports when they entered a country. Today, governments increasingly use passports as instruments of coercion. On this page we supply what information we can. You can get a second passport; it's just harder to get then it was a few years ago . . .  why don't you wait a few more years, then it will be impossible and you won't have to worry about it.  Your fate will be sealed. We understand that the USA Government is considering legislation that will prevent certain 'citizens' from getting passports.
Asset Protection Videos  - Over 2 dozen asset protection videos including such subjects as Gold, the US Dollar, economics, silver, taxes, the IRS, and related issues. Our video site also contains a number of interesting videos on Ron Paul. In addition there are over a hundred documentary videos on our video site, some of them quite interesting. Our video site was first created to address expat issues but will soon be featuring real estate from around the world. A good way to place your resource on this page if you you have a resource for this page:  Place a video on our expat video site, place the words "Asset Protection" in the tags for the Video. People watch the videos and the videos for Asset Protection are linked from this page.  If you don't have a video you can place a classified in our Offshore Classified Section for $1.  We want to hear about your resource and we want to share it with others.
List Of Offshore Banks - Listing banks in over two dozen of the the top offshore tax havens - An offshore bank is defined by its location, or 'jurisdiction'. An offshore bank is usually located outside of the depositors country of residence, typically within a jurisdiction that levies very low taxes, or no taxes at all.  Each jurisdiction varies in its degree of taxation, its degree of privacy, and its services. Offshore banks located in politically and economically stable jurisdictions provide a safe-haven for assets that may be at risk in the nation in which the investor lives and holds residency. In the historical past, Americans  living and working in  abroad would open bank accounts with a local bank in whatever country they were living and working, and if it earned any interest at all would never show it on their U.S. income tax return.  This was part of the unofficial benefits of living in outside of the U.S. Handled correctly; it still can be. 
How To Bank Offshore - Why Bank Offshore? - The Governments of the world are out of control . . . and broke.  They need your assets to make themselves solvent.  That they squander those assets is forgone. Is 2012 the Last Year for Opening an Offshore Bank Account for Americans?  -  On March 28, 2010 President Obama signed the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act into law.  According to official government press releases, this was enacted to prevent offshore tax abuses by US persons.  While this is certainly true, it doesn’t tell the whole story.  In reality it is a way to prevent an outflow of capital from the US as well as implement very strict currency controls robbing you of your personal freedom. - - Is the US Monetary System on the Verge of Collapse?   -  Tune into CNBC or click onto any of the dozens of mainstream financial news sites, and you’ll find an endless array of opinions on the latest wiggle in equity, bond and commodities markets. Banking Offshore is prudent, find out how to do it, and where.
StockMarkets of the World - StockMarkets of the World - A directory of the world's stock markets - There is more than one stock market, more than ten, more than a hundred. There is vast array of international markets and unique ways to play them. There are some who know the international markets and are able to play little known markets and little known stocks to their advantage - Especially during a economic crisis. How many stock markets in the world? We have heard numerous estimates, but no definitive answers. Interestingly, some markets do better than the tried & true. Brazil came out of nowhere and stunned the world with a run up that showed no signs of leveling off.  When we started this website, China wasn't even a contender.  Does that mean that one should go looking for the next opportunity?  Sort of.

Global Maildrops & Serviced Offices - Establish A Virtual Offshore Presence - Using Maildrops For Privacy & Profit - Mail drops and confidential mail forwarding services, and serviced offices in locations around the world - Find Your Virtual Location. A serviced office also known as an "executive suite" or 'executive space' is an office or office building that is fully equipped and managed by a facility management company, which then rents individual offices or floors to other companies. A mail drop is a facility that receives mail in your behalf which it either holds for you, or remails to you at another address. - If you form an Offshore Company in the Seychelle Islands, and have a Virtual [or serviced] Office in Singapore with a telephone answering service, you might be sitting on the beach in the Côte d'Azur on the Riviera, but your 'office' or business location is in Singapore.  That is also where you get your eMail and your sMail. You're virtual . . . you're an EscapeArtist!
Privacy Is A Psychological Necessity - If we do not have the right to privacy, we do not own the rights to our own lives - We live in a world where privacy and individuality are under attack. The right to privacy is more than an abstract necessity, it is also a psychological necessity. If we do not have the right to privacy, we do not own the rights to our own lives. Individuality entails making value judgments independent of political, religious or social dogmas.  In making value judgments we make choices.  In today's world, if the choices we make differ from the status quo then we come under pressure to 'toe the line'. There is no line to toe. We live in an intellectual vacuum, where short of the logical choices we make in our own behalf, there are no other values. Our Magazine & Websites stress privacy and living our life by our own standards,  protecting what is ours from those who have not earned it. In our privacy index you'll find an excellent selection of important articles about Privacy, how we're losing it, how to regain it, how to protect it. We believe these articles are very important.  If you want to continue to live free, these articles are crucial. Articles About Protecting Your Privacy Appear Monthly In Our Overseas Lifestyles Magazine.
Free Trade Zones (FTZ's)  - Wake Up! Free Trade Zones Are Not Just For The Big Boys - A free trade zone (FTZ) or export processing zone (EPZ) is one or more special areas of a country where some normal trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas are eliminated and bureaucratic requirements are lowered. Such zones allow tremendous labor and tax savings. They don't have to be used strictly by large manufacturers; they can be used by individuals who want to import / export, and by those who want to sell products from offshore using the best possible infrastructure - good shipping, good telephone systems, good facilities.  The best of all possible places to do business. Very much under-utilized by individuals seeking to make a living offshore. Look into starting a business in a Free Trade Zone. It's not just for the big boys.
