Do you use offshores?

Around 166 billion USD dollars around the world aren't paid in taxes due to the fact that those are declared in offshore jurisdictions (30 - 80 countries may fit this criteria).

Do you use them yes/no,

worth it/not worth it

how you do it

Before anyone starts in on the "they should pay their fair share" circus act, remember folks: avoidance =/= evasion. 

I don't use any offshoring tactics (with the obligatory "yet" because I have the obvious goal of having that amount of assets), but if I did I'd definitely find me a LLM or other ex-big4 transfer pricing accountant/attorney to set it all up properly.

It'd be pretty based if nobody paid any income taxes imo.

Yes, I have an offshore bank account. Yes, I report it to the US government. No, it doesn’t actually reduce my taxes.

These tax reducing schemes are primarily available for companies rather than individuals, so for those of us who don’t actually earn income through a separate legal entity, we are stuck paying a full set of taxes.
