about tax...

  1. Looks like the paradise/offshore topic hit a raw nerve. To do this means leaving family and friends in the "mainland" must cut many ties. Glad to hear that medical doesn't seem to be a concern.

    Needless to say nobody is going to do this if gross is less than
    100k.

    Hey Metooxx, why not BVI - I thought they have filber there
    via "Cable and Wireless" - not sure whether a T1 is available
    there? I like to hear about your comment there (BVI) and other
    locations.

    Man, you can be from outer space and Uncle Sam will tax you. No wonder they don't come here.

    :cool:

  4. Thanks metooxx. Those are good considerations. I'll keep them in mind in the future. Developing a local business will also a plus -building own house would be a good start - except moving the building material would be a challenge on those islands.

    What do you do when the storm comes - closing shop?

  5. You are missing the point; you are in compliance with the US tax code ...

  6. Moving stuff from Florida is an everyday thing; people bulk grocery shop there once a month.

    Haven't seen a major storm; at first I thought we would leave, now I realize the locals treat it like we would a snow storm ...

  7. Metooxx, my mindset re. storm is same as yours/local, but just wondering whether the internet connection would get affected
    or not. If you have big open positions - would you fly to the
    "mainland" just in case?
